Medical Malfeasance
When I woke up this morning somehow I found a sense of peaceful condolence. I discovered that it is because I am not crazy, and if openly I allow Fayetteville's environmental demons their due, it is undeniable that the residents of Fayetteville are cursed with pollution that may not be found elsewhere. I have spoken of this influence many times. In light of the world's recent heat wave, it has become obvious to me these demons and global warming are intertwined. Always I have known this, and from time to time I rant about the dangers of tower top microwave ovens, electricity in our air, diesel-produced infrasound (low frequency sound waves which cannot be heard), and the rest. No one cares, just like our American medical establishment will not simply come out and say tinnitus is created by these low frequency sound waves. They alone to a healthy ear do not create the ringing many people hear. Only if there is hearing loss do these particular frequencies ring when influenced by a low frequency sound wave. I do not know why. I am not a scientist, but it wouldn't take much gray matter to explain why. Our modern medical establishment, while unbeknownst to possibly the majority of Americans, prefers to treat symptoms. To my eyes in the colloquial town of Fayetteville, there is not much science happening in our medical establishment. Rather it seems to be personified by meatball surgery, a hodgepodge of post Appalachian holistic divergence. If you really want to be cured a trip to Duke or Chapel Hill is in order. I found this out first hand being marketed through Fayetteville's various technical medical facilities. It is like a mill, one which offers little treatment and no seeable product. In essence it is a bit of a ruse, a tried and true methodology of smoke and mirrors building revenue for Fayetteville's medical community. I saw one particular doctor, who in my educated opinion fueled by nine years of collegiate musical study, who was ignorant. Not only did blatantly he lie, but he knew less than I did about my own symptoms, and chose only to suggest treatment that would fill his pocket with my money. It was an erroneous suggestion his "procedure," and almost a year later I discovered that his negligence concerning probable infection in my urinary tract, bladder, kidneys, or gastrointestinal tract could be considered an act of malpractice. Simple antibiotics would have solved by illness, and yet he chose to recommend extraneous things only that supported his medical specialty. This must be why doctor's practice. They like to practice, and in the process they do not learn much or attempt to heal illness. Even an auto mechanic provides you with a tangible product, a running vehicle. A doctor that likes to practice on your dime is unnecessary. We have lots of these today. The legal profession suffers from the same flaw. Many lawyers like to make money manipulating the law but often not helping a particular legal predicament. This has become our America. This is why the lower and middle class are being held hostage. This is why our economy is stagnant. This is why there is a growing rift between the elite rich and the rest of America. Until morality once agains enters the culture of America possibly tendered by religious philosophy, we are doomed.
