My ABF went to the DR due to GOUT which appeared in his big toe. He never told his dr about the coke abuse though.
The Dr took some tests and told him he needed to (lay off the drink) to recover.
the tests came back showing raised levels of enzymes in the liver. She told him to come back in 2 months for another test to see if it reduced.
The ABF was worried... he stayed off the alchohol and coke for 1 week.
He spoke to his friend (who also is an alchoholic) and he told abf that drs ALWAYS say this to patients to just SCARE them. That Drs said that to him for years and he was still alive.
So sure enough, ABF started drinking again and said because it was Vodka and not whiskey then it was ok.
You can imagine my laughter at that remark.
So it proves that even if a DR does detect something, and says something. They don't ALWAYS listen.
The choose NOT to hear it most times.
