I was told by a doctor that the reason I am sick is because I lack positive thinking.
This was a professional medical doctor.
I was supposed to tell this idiot that I would get better in a matter of months. The positive thinking would make it so.
If I did not repeat the words, that I would be healed, then it was my own fault if I stayed sick, because it meant I wanted to remain sick.
I declined.
I have an incurable genetic defect. I have had it since birth. I am disfigured by it. It is not curable.
Doctors….or demons?
Lady, to me, you will always be a demon.

Wow. Not only does this still somehow manage to surprise me… i’m surprised that i’m even surprised at all.
Perhaps if there is a next time, you could simply respond with a question: “why should i believe that?”
Maybe the “doctor” can explain why you should think that. I mean, that’s no more absurd than what has already occurred, so… maybe it’s “just crazy enough to work.”
Funny you should ask. The power of positive thinking, manifestation, the law of attraction, mind over matter, positive mental attitude – is it all bull? Actually, no. I’ve seen all these things work, but mostly for other people. Although I have used guided meditation and self-hypnosis a few times for some medical problems when the doctors ended up being of no help. On the flip side, I hate myself so deeply that it is pretty obvious my subconscious mind is trying to accomplish the suicide my conscious mind thinks about, only much slower and with far more pain. And I’ve never been able to do anything about it.
That being said, I think it’s stupid and irresponsible for a medical professional to tell one of their patients that the only reason they are sick is because they won’t tell themselves to “heal”. That sounds like a freaking cop-out to me, and it tells me this “doctor” has nothing to offer you. I would find someone else with a more holistic approach that includes both body and mind and that isn’t afraid to try new things that have the potential to help you get better.
This was one experience out of many, many others that I have had. Always doctors demanding that I should heal myself! By positive thoughts! Nevermind that I have a genetic error! Nevermind that my face is deformed, my body sick and stunted! I have heard from many other sick and disabled people receiving this kind of garbage from the medical profession. Visited another doctor in desperation and she said to me “well, what do you want me to do for you? Tell me what I should do”. Fuck! I came to you because I don’t know what to do, because I can’t heal myself. I swear these people are running loose in this world like possessed demons. Doctors & nurses, most of you are abhorrent, and without honor, and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
He should have proposed voodoo while at it… while not magic too?. Positive thinking? for a real problem? nowadays doctors just go by a set book and if they can’t find the answer there, the sickness must be the patients invention… been there, hope you can find a doctor that do helps you… without black magic or sacrifising chicken or something.

I don’t mean to laugh :)ïŠ but ha ha! I went to a doctor once, the guy was very professional! I was impressed! For about 1hr! Then all the sudden he say’s perhaps something happened in one of your previous lives? Ha ha! A quack!!!
