It seems to me like the whole medical profession is a big celebration of having an ego problem. Some doctors carry themselves with so much hubris it's hard to imagine some of them making ANY rational decisions at all, and all their processes, right down to how medical records are kept, seem geared around expecting obedience from the patient without revealing enough details for scrutiny to be applied.

Compare that against professions like engineering where a few notorious failures have led to the presence of cognitive biases in decision making being at least acknowledged to a degree.

Electro acupuncture is awesome! I, too, was skeptical. I had severe vomiting almost daily for 12 years The regular docs said it was all in my head after stomach dumping test came back normal

Went to a naturopath she said probably the impulses between my stomach and brain had gotten messed up after a severe illness 12 years earlier.

3 electro acupuncture treatments later - the problem is virtually completely solved. (I have a few more treatments left) It was hell during the procedure mainly because she told me to only go as high as it was tolerable - I kept her cranking it up because I just wanted relief and thought more shock equaled faster/better result.

It’s incredible stuff

I don’t quite understand how it works but I am incredibly thankful.

Believe it or not - not too bad It was never acidic I compare it to a backed up sink - stuff just wouldn’t move forward and I had zero stomach acid. It was weird which is why the normal docs couldn’t figure it out or be bothered
