Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

I have been in Hospital with High Blood Pressure and a very High and fast heart Rate. They said it was my Asthma that was causing the above to be so high.



I asked them if it was my heart that was the problem. The reply was don%26#039;t know.



I then asked if they could treat the problem, they said they could%26#039;nt as they didn%26#039;t know what was causing it.



So I have now been discharged from hospital, with the condition still the same.

cause you%26#039;ll sue them if they%26#039;re wrong...Attorney%26#039;s do the same thing...plausible deniability and vagueness are unfortunately required these days

because they just dont know!!! pretty scary huh??



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

because they cant be wrong if they dont actually answer!!!



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

Would you rather tey admitted they didn%26#039;t know, or try to fob you off with an answer that isn%26#039;t true?

get a better lawyer

And they get paid how much!



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

Because they can never be never be sure 100%, makes you think really.

Same reason why politicians do the same. If you purposely leave the answer %26#039;hanging%26#039; it will be up to the person who asked to come to his/her own conclusion(s).



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

There%26#039;s two answers to this one, firstly, they may simply not know - they%26#039;re not all powerful, just people relying on existing medical knowledge. You may ask for a referral to get a second opinion, but consultants generally don%26#039;t like doing that as it makes them look as if they don%26#039;t know what%26#039;s going on.



Secondly - go private - my friend has recently been discharged from hospital when they (under the NHS) said they had no idea what was going on. He went private. Same hospital. Same consultant. They suddenly knew what was wrong...

sometimes(most of the time to tell the truth) doctors have no clue as to what is going on. As a nurse i know first hand, some of the most stupid people in the world are doctors!!!!!!!! if u use an inhaler 4 ur asthma u maybe using it to much causing increased pulse and blood pressure

Well my friend if your in a medical profession and have a medical background.All diseases isn%26#039;t straight forward thats why some doctors would have under observation do some more test to know whats causing it. It might be your heart or it might be your asthma which causing your high bp or it might be something else like stress.This is just to say that not all doctors are very knowledgable about illnesses, they%26#039;re not gods they%26#039;re just humans who also have margins for error.

The short answer : lawyers and malpractice suits. God bless America.



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

that%26#039;s why they call it a medical PRACTICE. they haven%26#039;t perfected it yet. lol



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

Just wait until your insurance runs out. Then they%26#039;ll tell you what%26#039;s wrong with you and it won%26#039;t be medical. If they told you what was wrong with you, they would have no excuse for not curing you. If doctors actuall cured anything, they would put themselves out of business.



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

our litigious society has created exactly the situation you describe. The drs. are afraid of being wrong, as if they are they get sued. So unless they are 100% sure of a situation, they won%26#039;t give you a firm answer. Thank an attorney for this!



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

The truth is 9 times out of 10 they don%26#039;t know and the 1 time they think they are sure, they are worried about being sued if they are wrong.



Medicine is very rarely an exact science.



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

They%26#039;re doctors, they%26#039;re supposed to give long, drawn out explanations with prescriptions written up so nobody can understand them.



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

Doctors have to be specialized in order to learn enough about one area of medicine to be able to do their jobs due to the large volume of knowledge about each specialty. They do not have the time or ability to learn about other specialties, and feel very uncomfortable if asked to step outside their specialty.



Self-education is very important, because we have to know about our bodies in order to communicate well to the doctors.



HBP, fast heart rate, asthma can all be affected or caused by high blood insulin (hyperinsulinemia) and/or one of the conditions caused by that condition - hypoglycemia. There is some basic information about the hypoglycemia condition at www.hufa.org.



If you know what questions to ask, and what tests to ask for, your doctors may be able to better diagnose your condition, and provide more helpful treatment.

You are talking about A%26amp;E? Did you go because of your asthma?



If this is the case, then asthma attack can cause high blood pressure and fast heart rate ( the most likely scenario )- they said it was your asthma that was causing that but it could be something else.



The decision they have to make is to admit you or discharge you with appropriate follow up (have they done that?)



I think it is appropriate for a doctor to tell me he/she does not know as long as they refer me to someone who would know, and i hope they have done that in your case.



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

They told you their opinion - high blood pressure and heart rate due to asthma. If you don%26#039;t want to accept that reason then ask for a second opinion.



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

They cannot give you a straight answer because the human body is a complex system of interrelated stuff.



You want a simple answer, like %26quot;its button six, we just need to tweak bolt number 3 a quarter of a turn%26quot;....it doesn%26#039;t work like that.



soem stuff can take years ( I%26#039;m up to 8 so far ) to try to figure out whats wrong.



They told you it was Asthma. But then you say you asked them if it was your heart...why did you do that if they already told you what it was. Could it be that they gave you an answer you didn%26#039;t like.



i personally think you should be grateul they discharged you, there are people that lie in hospital for years while they try to figure out whats wrong. And there are plenty of people that are unconcious and the doctors cannot figure out whats wrong...and then its too late, they die.

Doctor%26#039;s 101 Rule or Thumb:



Never ever say you are sure and commit yourself, just in case you are wrong and get sued... lose ur license.. end up in jail.. haha



Why do doctors never give a straight answer to a simple yes or no Question?

Treating a person is not as open and shut as fixing a broken part in a car. There are a lot more variables to consider. For instance, blood pressure can be caused by MANY problems and can effect MANY other diseases. I suspect your doctor couldn%26#039;t give you a clear-cut yes/no answer, because there were too many variables in your case to make it possible for him to do that with any certainty.

beacuse they have to examine perfectly
