Advice on mentioning misdiagnosis and alternative medicine on Personal Statement?
Hi, I’m currently in the process of writing my personal statement. A large part of my reason to go into medicine was that my sister had intense chronic pain that for a long period of time, she was diagnosed differently by multiple doctors and treatments were never effective. Our family physician didn’t give up on her case and eventually referred us to an alternative medicine practitioner (who practiced something similar to OMT) who was able to eliminate her pain. We never really understood... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Amen clinics
I had not heard of this till today, where a patient with worsening anxiety and her mother were convinced they needed holistic healing methods..They do things like IV vitamin replacement therapy and charge patients 4,000 for MRIs essentially...Ironically it was started by an actual psychiatrist (though a very controversial one to say the least) and now he has a chain of these.

MMI Scenario Commonalites?
For those that have been to MMIs in the past, do schools ever use very similar scenarios to the common "practice ones" you see online (birth control, jehovah witness, alternative medicine, organ donation, etc), or at least ones with similar themes? Has anyone been hit with a scenario completely out of left field (excluding traditional interview questions)? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Do you believe in energy medicine
I ran across a few articles about alternative medicine and I want to ask if any of you believe in energy medicine. I think a lot of medical professionals would compared "energy medicine" as "alternative medicine" and any alternative medicine has placebo effect in the body. This placebo effect might even work just as well as the regular medication. Please share what's your opinion on the energy medicine. Thank you (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Haloterapy Opinions and Haloterapy Devices
Hi CF community This group is great and helped us a lot. I'm a parent of a recently diagnostic CF 8 year old girl. She had two positive sweat tests and we are waiting for the mutation test results. She has tried Haloterapy (Salt Rooms), and we saw good result in releasing and ticketing the mucus. In my opinion, it is one of the most efficient therapyes that she used.
