Sometimes conclusive diagnoses can be very difficult to reach

 

Did they tell you all the tests would be free , since they could not find anything ? ha ha!

Quite a money making machine these hospitals are .  At 84 (actually all of us over 60 ) are all seen as MONEY walking in the door.

The good news is :  the meds they would have given you are often worse for you than the problem one has !   This is of course MY opinion ,  based on MY research into some very common health issues that come up .  Some of which have "Solutions" that a small percentage of doctors/experts do not agree with the mainstreet medical establishment (and thus are called quacks and get smeared, as usual)  .  (e.g. :   statins are not good  .    high cholesterol is NOT the main cause of heart attacks .     blocking acid in the stomach is  actually worse for you.

and on and on .   BUT..... i am pretty sure from your posts that you might think I am crazy .😎

    

Gerd has many natural (non pharmaceutical)  solutions which many people try, successfully .   If already on an acid blocker,  well.... that could be a problem.

Being a young 84 maybe you can go back to school and become a ND.   

Next life i will do that ...............

Yep.... just like with the covid shots.

This happens to be a private hospital funded by a charitable trust.  They have an excellent reputation throughout the state.  People often drive miles out of their way to use this hospital . Judging by the sequence of tests I am assuming they chose the ones first that were in line with the doctor's suspicions, using a process of elimination. This is the first time there I did not receive a diagnosis and the first time they have billed me...$15.64 total.  Medicare and Tricare covered the rest.

Now that I have modified my diet it seems to have fixed the problem.  We just returned from a months stay in Thailand and not once did I suffer any digestive distress.

No, I do not think you are crazy.  Medicine is an evolving science with new discoveries virtually every day. 

My girlfriend's brother is a M.D. in Bangkok.  He retired from one hospital and was immediately asked to join the staff of another.  I enjoy talking to him.  Besides working in research he is also an excellent diagnostic doctor.  I respect him because he is a free thinker, like myself, and does not hesitate to disagree with the "establishment".  He also thinks that statins are not good and can cause alzheimer's disease.
