Like many doctors out of med school since 1914ish, She is par for the off-course. Woefully uneducated in alternative, self-healing modalities. We discussed my urine therapy knowledge and expertise. While she stated she was uninformed on the subject and would research "in my own terms", she constantly talked over and interupted me despite my attempts to educate her. I believe that helping a doc help me is a win-win. But when these young practitioner's egos and arrogance (she is not alone) cloud that process it is not just unnerving, it is fully antithetical and spits in the face of Hippocrates himself. Dr. O' isnt in full blame, sans the profession wholesale; replete with it's corrupt professors, funders, founders and forgers. Like science's refusal to incorporate aetheric evidence with empirical; the medical community needs full toolbox stock to best practice. Urine derived stem cells are free, effective and regenerate vs. heal. BIG pHARMa can't survive if we figure this out. Learn it!

Excellent! She seems to care about her patients. Very friendly explanation was very thorough. I have been very frustrated with this situation, she’s getting the ball rolling quickly.
