If I went over your house to fix your heater in the middle of winter, would you like to hear me say "in about 2 weeks we will perform a test on your system, and then go from there".

If 5 HVAC doctors said the same thing, I'd be inclined to believe them - that no quick fix was possible. I wouldn't be calling in the guy who attaches magnets to the gas line to align the molecules.

Re: Sinus Cavity
Just one joke, I promise:
​
or maybe your kid put a bean in your ear and it's sprouting.
​
Or maybe a spider crawled in there, or maybe I am sick of hearing BS (lol).
​
Maybe a thought got in there somehow.

How do I know it works? Because we raised two boys to be healthy adults by using the wholistic alternative regimes all their life and most of our own, all without the docs and zero pharmaceuticals.
​
I have the antidote to your anecdote.
​
I haven't had a prescription since 1968. I hardly know what a doctor looks like. I once quit a job leaving 2000 hours of sick leave behind.
​
And I comply with only two things on your list: I don't smoke and I love sardines.

You can never prove our faith is false, no matter how badly you want science to do that for you.

Come down off your cross, Saint Mikey. Nobody's trying to disprove your faith.

They should have scheduled both appointments at the same time (2days apart) so I wouldn't have to wait 2 dam weeks.
​
It sounds like your issue is more with the administration/bureaucracy than with the medical treatment itself.
​
It would be a bad idea to go looking for a quick fix. The conventional system hasn't run out of ideas yet.
