Does anyone else dislike doctors here?

I've had too many bad experiences with them. The majority of them are incompetent and bad at diagnosing any condition, unless it's pretty obvious (for example, you've had a stroke, heart attack, broken your arm or having been shot). They're also very dismissive, if you bring up a concern or a different perspective. If they can't find any explanation for your symptoms, they will blame it on stress and say it's psychological, instead of doing some research on your symptoms... They don't give a damn about your pain, or lack any empathy. I don't know why people respect them so much and see them as demigods with superpowers; medical mistakes are way more common than they think (yet they somehow get away with them)

Most of them are incompetent shitheads and the pandemic has showed the entire world that the majority of them will go along with tyranny just because they are told to do so. That's what makes a Nazi and allows atrocities to occur in this world. People that have blind obedience to authority are how monsters like Hitler get away with genocide. The medical field is jam packed with those sorts of asswipes.

Anyone that wore a mask during the pandemic would have been a Nazi in WWII Weimar Republic. Anyone that told someone else to wear a mask would have been an officer.

Now you know who all the dangerous authoritarians are in your community. Keep an eye on those fuckers.

[Shamalien]

Yeah seriously. It’s insane.

[Asker]

What is insane?

[Shamalien]

How little of a shit most doctors seem to give about actually helping people

[Asker]

I totally agree with you bro. They never actually helped me in anything. They just see you as another patient. Their goal is to see as many patients as possible to get more money

[Asker]

*to gain more money

[Shamalien]

As a wise man once said, they care more about the lexus in their garage than your well being

[Asker]

Exactly... They're so cold and unempathetic

[Shamalien]

Yeah. Just remember, nobody is really looking out for you like you are in this life. You need to become an expert on your own body

[Asker]

Yes I might recognize the symptoms, but unfortunately I can't prescribe medications to myself... And most doctors refuse to listen to any other perspective than their own and in fact, get angry and offended, when you ask them a question

[Shamalien]

Buy off uni students

[Asker]

What? Lol

[Shamalien]

The meds. If u really need shit but docs ent down, lots of kide get overprescribed and sell em off at schools

[Asker]

I don't think they have the right to prescribe meds. It's illegal.
Maybe some pharmacist, if you have the right connections.
But what if it's something more serious and you need intravenous medications for instance, or surgery? You can't operate on yourself. Unfortunately we do need (good) doctors

[Shamalien]

Illegal, who cares. It’s a low tier crime that hurts no one. I do agree though…the need for good doctors is almost greater than anything else

[Asker]

Right. You can read the instructions and contraindications of a drug yourself and make an informed decision. I don't understand why you need a doctor for this.
in my opinion they should encompass knowledge with good bedside manners and empathy

[Shamalien]

I don’t blame them for lack of bedside manner, it’s the lack of actual care that matters, and you can’t teach that

Absolutely, I have Ehlers Danlos and I have had my fair share of asshole doctors, misdiagnosis, and failure to diagnose. The list goes on and on. I have to be my own doctor. I have even had to school doctors who did not have the education.
