That explains so goddamn much! My doctor has not help me in years. Once went in for arm pains he just said "your old" and "i get them too". No solutions. But keeps wanting to draw blood and order me on medication I don't need for shit I don't have.
Am ready to switch doctor but guess that won't fix the issues.
I had a lot of family in big pharma and the situation is just fucked in general for western medicine. They priortize any treatment that is profitable, and the science follows the money more than the data.
You can mostly rely on yourself for your health these days, which means diet, sleep, exercise, and staying away from drugs and alcohol. Doctors literally are lied to about medications, and are pressured to prescribe them with threat of malpractice lawsuits.
It's way worse than most people realize. Even the smart doctors are going to give you shitty treatments.
Apart from curing diseases like syphilis with antibiotics, and modern vaccines, modern medicine is fucked.
I once had a specialist refuse to do any type of treatment or exploration of my condition because it wasn't severe enough for him to operate and that's far more profitable.
The regular doctor couldn't do anything, the specialist didn't care. I found better solutions online
