Is it because they "quack?"

Posted by eric555 (Member # 18343) on :

They are the ones who clearly cause problems for us together with IDSA, by their misdiagnoses and a lack of proper testing and understanding.

They say that after 3 weeks of Antibiotics you will be Cured.
(and thats only if they actually believe you have Lyme disease)

And in most cases the patient knows more about Lyme and Coinfections than they do.

So how can one actually call them a Doctor ???

Because we all fall through the quacks if we visit one of them... [Razz]

good one robin; i'm still laughing! keep up the humorous work [Smile]

Posted by Starfall1969 (Member # 17353) on :

Because they think we're quackers if we have symptoms but test negative for anything and everything.

Some doctors just aren't all they're quacked up to be.

Because the moderators would kick us all off LymeNet if we called them what they really are!

I think Tincup is responsible for "ducks".

Hysterical Tin Cup!!!

It took me a little while to realize that for ages people have called bad doctors QUACKS. I guess DUCKS is a variation.

After all, folks with Lyme are a very creative and humorous people!! We have to be to survive all the "Duck Droppings".

Now I wonder about the origin of "Quacks". =)

Maybe they should be should called dinosaurs since they cling to prehistoric notions and refuse to recognize current science.

hmmmm, have you ever really watched a duck?

every time they waggle their feathery little rears, they go pooo.....

and they waggle a lot....lots of pooo....

well at least that's my opinion...

any Hunters here want to join a Quack shoot ?

Dinosaurs are most closely related to the modern chicken, I hear. Or was it the duck?

A doc is someone who says, "I don't know, but I'll see if I can find out."

A duck says, "that has nothing to do with lyme disease, that doesn't happen, those symptoms are coincidental and have nothing to do with each other,

it must be in your head, you just need an antidepressant, you just need some prednisone injections, I am an expert on infectious diseases, expert on autoimmune disorders, and...quack, quack, quack.

Posted by FancyRatFan (Member # 3088) on :

All of the above.

Thanks for the laugh Robin. I got to remember that one.
