Have you ever lied to your doctor KNOWING that it's in your best interests to be honest? Why if that conversation can never leave that room?

It's not necessarily in your best interests to be totally honest. What you say is NOT just between you and your doctor. It goes into your digital record and is available to government and insurance companies.

It used to be fine when the doctor kept paper records on file, before everything became digitized.

For example, covid proved how badly you could get fucked if you couldn't prove that you had been jabbed.
And I know people who couldn't get medical insurance because of relatively harmless "pre-existing" conditions.
Even having a record of smoking tobacco in your medical file causes much higher insurance rates.
Admitting to your doctor that you smoked weed occasionally could limit your employment opportunities.

Besides, doctors these days are good at treating specific symptoms, usually with drugs, but they aren't in a position to give you health advice. I would have more faith in a naturopath for that.

Allopathic doctors often prescribe stuff that's harmful. They're just doing what they are told and making a living.

For example, I had a good friend who was about 30 years older than me, who passed away several years ago. He thought his doctor was God. The doctor was on the kick of telling people not to eat fat. Can you imagine? We need fat to survive and for healthy neurological function. But my friend went on a no fat diet.
The doctor also had him on every pill you can imagine, with no knowledge of how they interact with each other.

And what about doctors who fail to fully inform patients about drug ingredients and possible side effects. The covid jabs a glaring example.

[elaphe]

The COVID immunizations were a Godsend. Imagine how many people more would have died without an immunization than the one million who died with the immunization available. Remember President Trump's "Operation Warp Speed" to develop an immunization against COVID because we knew the greater toll the illness would take in a vaccine naive population?

[Lliam]

@elaphe. There is no evidence that the jabs prevented covid deaths. How would you prove that?

And most of the one million who are claimed to have died from covid were simply blamed on covid. The numbers were cooked to create fear and sell shots.

[elaphe]

You sound like a conspiracy nut. Those immunizations are absolutely proven to help prevent the contraction of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID. I teach biology and have read some of those research papers. I have had graduate courses in medical microbiology and immunology. I know how science works. Immunizations are not approved by the FDA if there is no evidence of their efficacy and safety. Have you not had MMR or DTP vaccinations?

[Lliam]

@elaphe. Are you comparing the experimental mRNA covid concoctions to traditional vaccines?
Nobody knows what all they contain. And some of the things they do know are known to be bad.
Why are so many people experiencing life changing side effects or death? Are blood clots, organ and neurological damage normal for conventional vaccines?

And you didn't address my other points. How can it be proven how many deaths were prevented by taking the jabs?
Why were people denied early treatment with things that are proven to be effective?
And do you deny that the numbers of covid cases were deliberately inflated?

[elaphe]

Mathematical models predict how many people will die with and without vaccination. How do you know that the vaccination caused blood clots and not a patient's smoking, for example? Of course, I deny COVID cases were deliberately inflated; what proof of that is there, and who would it benefit? And don't say it was to sell vaccines, because those were given free at government expense. Why would the government inflate numbers if it will cause more people to get vaccinated at the government's expense? That makes no sense. You also haven't told me is you have other vaccinations.

[Lliam]

@elaphe. You weren't educated. You were indoctrinated. You obviously haven't researched the covid issue at all.

I was lucky to have been born when there were only a few vaccinations on the childhood schedule.
I got antigen shots for allergies when I was a kid. I've also gotten tetanus shots. But I never got a flu shot and I most certainly didn't volunteer for the experimental mRNA jab to get my cells modified and my immune system altered. I'm not a GMO.

[elaphe]

The RNA vaccines don't "modify cells. That is ridiculous and shows a lack of "indoctrination" about molecular genetics.

[Lliam]

@elaphe LOL

[KrakenAttackin]

@Lliam. This is exactly right. Your medical records can be used to put you on "red flag lists", and have your rights taken away.

[elaphe]

@KrakenAttackin What rights, exactly, might be taken away?

[Lliam]

Elaphe trusts "the" science. The medical and pharma industries and government are here to "help" you. Honest. They have your best interests at heart. Trust me. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[RebelinSteel]

Yeah I went to docs and said I had some pain in back and was away with work for the month doing some work stuff, could I have some pain relief.

i knew he would give me diclofenac, which he did, enough for the month.

There was nothing wrong, however I had a mountain biking comp just before we went away with work and I knew I would be hurting lol. Also they are good for hangovers along with a blast of oxygen.

If I had of asked for some pain in the future I would not get anything, however I knew I would be hurting after the comp and then going into a long flight n more work.

I've had a lot of doctors assume I'm lying, which is totally fun. I've had a few surgeries, and they always ask you about alcohol consumption. I've never had a drink in my life, and every time I say this, they're like, you don't have to lie, if you drink a little bit or even if you drink a lot, it doesn't help you to lie. They don't believe you anymore than a cop believing anyone who says they are innocent in jail.

[HawkPerception]

I've never lied to my doctor about anything. I haven't had a question that made me feel uncomfortable come up as of yet. Have I tried drugs? Only natural stuff like shrooms and I don't smoke. I've only done edible weed twice. And anything sex related, I don't mind sharing either. I don't see a reason why I'd feel uncomfortable.

[KostasKouvalis]

Yeah, I went to the ER with severe stomach cramps and kidney pains, and by the time a doctor came and saw me, the pain had almost completely gone away, but I didn't want them to think I wasted their time, so I told her it still hurt.

[Chazmatazz269]

No. But it doesn’t matter, cuz doctors are as bad as cops for assuming everyone lies.

[jahaims]

What is on your medical record will effect insurance rates.

[RedInnocent69]

It always is with doctors, but how many really know their doctors enough to truly trust them?

[exitseven]

Some people are embarrassed to admit to drug use or weird sexual behavior. They won't even tell their doctors

[Massageman]

OMG. Not going to near that one - HIPAA might come down on me!!!

[Anonymous]

What's in my best interest is for me to die, so telling them the truth so they can intervene is not in my best interest

[DrPepper12]

You really should seek help for those dark feelings.

[Opinion Owner]

Assisted su! cide is illegal, that's the only thing that would help, and selling my organs is also illegal, so I can't do that either

[Lynx122]

no never done that

[NathanDavis]

never had to

[DrPepper12]

I admire authenticity

[Twalli]

Shame or embarrassment.
