My dad always said, if you go to the doctor they can and will find something wrong with you. It supports them and their buddies at pharma!! I stay away, unless dying also!! I don't trust them!
I have a White athletic doctor. I go for physicals once per year. His advice for everything else is drink more water, exercise more, stop eating crap.
He tries to talk every patient he has out of taking medication whenever possible. I love that man.
Those kind of doctors are far and few in between. He is a keeper!!
A doctor asked me for my list of meds, so I rattled off two. He was surprised. He asked, "that's all?" I replied, should I be on more? I was curious what other meds I'm supposed to be on. In fact, I think the meds I'm on may not even be necessary. The level of high blood pressure keeps being reduced, presumably so big pharma can sell more high blood pressure pills. Great industry. I can just imagine board meetings. "Sales are stagnant." "No problem, Jack, donate to The Big Guy and have them recommend a lower blood pressure. We can increase sales another 30%."
