In all these decisions,where does the doctor's advise stand?

in reply to

Venkataramana Doctors do not give any medicines in blind manner he find the person in pesonnal and according to Blood report and asking his condition regarding at that time he only advise and prescribed drugs . Most of Doctors not given same medicines to all persons and dose also as same . It is too much good to consult with Doctors at frequent time it may help to prevent complications either urgently or later

It is your opinion. Most of 95 % of peoples were believed in Doctors and taken treatment from Doctors .

I am believe in Doctors prescribed medicines and lab test reports and I am always follows the Doctors advise

I am not force to believe in Doctors to any one of them

In my case Doctors prescribed me ist time Diabities noticed before 20 years SEMI U GLUCON and until 2007 I am taken only semi u glucon at morning only

however some of Doctors may be wrong diagnoised the diseases then it may be happen

generally Doctos start medicine from lower dose and afterward may increase the doses

Your case what happens I do not know what happens so I do not comment about your opinion.
