The Botox song:
“Don’t you know blue eyes?
You never can blink….
Coz you’ve got me under your skin…”

I need to fill this up with much better content than I had populated it with earlier. Why I write a blog maybe? I started blogging in 2009 or thereabouts. I was a newly turned atheist and wanted to converse with others of the same persuasion. We're not exactly a big population group in India! It didn't go very well and I sort of lost interest, posting a few things now and then.
I got a lot more regular over the last few months and have been posting almost daily since February '15. There were many reasons why I gradually became more regular in posting, but one way or the other, here I am! So this blog has taken shape, being at different points in time my showcase, my comedy club, my art gallery, my book club, my therapist, my close friend, my innermost self....but always my little corner of the world. You are all welcome to visit and I hope you stay awhile!
A few points about me because I don't want to lead anyone on(and trust me this does become an issue more often than I'd care to admit).
I'm Indian, the brown-skinned variety; if race, ethnicity or skin colour is an issue, you don't have to get to know me any more than what you see on my blog.
I'm 40, so if age is an issue, please be informed accordingly.
I was a doctor, an ophthalmic surgeon for 10 years before I quit practice.
I actually got kicked out of a medical office because I refused Meds that were being pushed on me and closed my ears to the sell of Botox. Once you start Botox, that’s it. Your words say it all. 🙂

Truth be told, I never used botox on any patient in my life. And it wasn’t a hard-sell, it was harder to turn people off botox. I only referred three patients for the injections, for intractable blepharospasm. Crazy, if you ask me. But you actually got turned away from a medical centre for refusing it? Unbelievable!

Yes. I received a certified letter in the mail notifying me I was no longer able to go to that office, for being “not compliant” and not only that the entire medical organization this doctor worked out of, one of the biggest if not THE biggest in our area. I was shocked. It was a blessing believe me because it was this same office that refused to diagnose me with Hashmito with a TSH of 17.5. Yep, I tend to find all the rotten apples. I’m in a good office now, and my GP has acknowledged that I will only do what I think is best for me. So he stopped asking the “questions”. 🙂 I respect this man because I know he gets penalized for the simple reason I won’t do certain testing nor any vaccines. Bless that man!!!

I’m always surprised at how healthcare in America works. It just boggles the mind…. It’s not as if health care is perfect in India, but doctors have a lot more say in treatment decisions, not insurance companies or MBAs.

If you but knew the scope of what is happening, it would shock the pants off of you. Our government now runs medicine and dictates to physicians as how to treat their patients. The scope of the criminal acts all because of money …. It breaks my heart. I’m an RN and you couldn’t pay me enough to get back in the system that is so broken. I thank God for the GP I do have now who respects my choices. I shudder at the thought of getting old or very ill and at the mercy of medicine. I’m actually making arrangements today that IF medicine comes into the picture I will have other alternatives. How the elderly are treated would make you cry. We in this country who are over 50 (which I am) are no longer considered to be a vital human being, but rather one to be preyed on with unnecessary testing and lots and lots of drugs. Dr., this is a very hot subject for me to discuss, so I do apologize for taking up so much of your time. I myself have been on the receiving end of cruelty and outright horror by “medicine”, and have done all I can to stay healthy, eat right, and educate myself with natural means to stay well. Bless you for being a doctor and bless you for listening. ❤

I cannot fully understand what you have gone through, sitting half a globe away, but I have heard enough horror stories, from both sides of the divide. I’m glad you have a better doctor to deal with now. I would say I hope things get better but really, who are we kidding? It’s going in the same direction here in India too….:/

It’s not exactly true, but some movement is temporarily lost. It’s a boon in some rare cases, for the rest it’s just a poisonous ego-trip. 🙂
