No you are not correct he is very much still practicing and is a D.O. but I've not done anymore injections. And I have no clue about how many infections from injections people end up with, probably plenty. I had good success from a few starting over 10 yrs ago. Now my knee is so improving by other means.
Then, you said he no longer doing injections...You post so much that I can't go back and look.
Yeah, it's all true whatever we put in our body be it Vit C or Lyrica as an example, we are taking a chance.
On the topic of screenings, talking to my friend tonight over dinner, her mother is sitting out the hurricane going on in FL and is 93 and she and all her generation never did all modern medicine screenings. Just like my family and my current 2 friends and a cousin who are heading to 94...

You know, if people don't wish to get regular screening done, they shouldn't be bullied or pressured into it. It's their choice. I get regular screenings done but I also research the risks and benefits of doing so.
Very much off. My mom, if alive, would be 93, and I know she had several screening mammograms in the 1980s and 90s.
My dad WISHED he had been offered a screening colonoscopy. Apparently, his doctor did not believe in them and was reluctant to refer him for one even when he presented with obvious symptoms. A simple colonoscopy at ages 60 and 70 would have saved him from going through colon cancer surgery and treatment when he was 76. Thereafter, he insisted on colonoscopies every five years until his death from natural causes at 94.
It is patently false that "all the generation" that is now in their 90s never had any screenings, never wanted them, and never needed them. Ugh, I am so sick of all this blather about people in their 90s who didn't get screened and are still alive. The people who would have benefited from screening but didn't get it are already dead by that age.
