Exactly. It was after Satoshi Kon went to these people that he found out it was really cancer. Talk about reading comprehension ITT, the OP clearly couldn't read in the first damn place. :|

Though shit, the alternative medicine hate ITT also pisses me off. I want to beat some of these people upside the head. >|

If he had gone to a doctor for his numb leg, they might have explored what was causing the numbness instead of just trying to relieve it and caught the cancer.

This is why people should see their doctor even for small issues; they could be a sign of much bigger ones!

[caterfree10.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but not every small symptom like a numb leg is cause for concern. Like someone above said, he probably thought it was a pinched nerve and thought simple work on said symptoms would've done the trick. When it didn't, he got a more in depth look at it and found out why the previous treatments weren't working. YES, some small things are really signs of bigger problems, but not always and I've noticed more people try to stay optimistic when they can, so I doubt ANYONE'S first thoughts when they have a numb leg or anything is "Oh, I bet I have cancer!". Just sayin'.

BTW, since when is a chiropractor not a doctor? Fairly sure it was meant that he went to both at the same time. :V

Yeah, because Western Medicine has never, ever tried to medicate a problem first, then dig deeper later when the problem persists. Doctors are perfect!

I worked for a doctor, and you know what? She would pass out whatever medications the latest pharma rep would give her samples of, after coming to the office and buying all of us lunch/presents. Those meals/swag were totally worth using our patients as test subjects, right? Which is what that is. How is that better than what you consider quackery? And that is very widespread.

What's wrong with a person deciding that, if the cancer is terminal, they would rather have quality of life rather than quantity? Oh, yeah, chemo will keep you alive longer, but at what cost? You're sick and miserable. I've seen that, and I'd probably make the same decision SK made.

On the flip side, some people who are struggling financially depend a lot on being able to try free samples rather than sweating blood to pay for a small prescription of some expensive drug only to discover it doesn't work.

It really sucks when your meds belong to a class of drug that you CAN'T get a free sample of, and then when you go to the pharmacy you discover you're not actually getting drugs today because, oh, the medication your doctor wrote you a prescription for costs HALF A MONTH'S PAY. Not worth it when you don't know if it'll work.

My family doctor hands out samples LIKE they're swag, and that's pretty much why we keep seeing her even though she's a dumbass. If I'm strapped for cash, I can usually avoid having to pay for my asthma medications at all if I claim at the very end of an appointment that I've misplaced my inhalers. She just grabs me a handful of samples rather than actually write me a prescription. And my sister (who is depressed and has a panic disorder) wouldn't have even been willing to TRY anti-depressants if it wasn't a simple matter of having them put right in her hands in the office. She doesn't turn down free stuff at least, and she got to see the difference with some of her symptoms alleviated.

Free samples = not all bad.
