So I think the root of all of this is that people in modern society put too much faith in the words of their doctors.
Epicurean Authority. It is a bad thing. Remember to question everything your doctor says to you, because when they leave the room after the checkup, they are looking up all the stuff you mentioned to them 🙂. And knowing is half the battle

And I dont need to shit about medicine; its not my job. Its their job.
I expect doc's to know medicine, just like expect chefs to be able to cook, just like I expect mechanics to know how to fix a car, just like I expect tattoo artist to give tats, and carpenters to cut wood.
But modern medicine is really behind anyways. Polio was the last disease that was cured, which was in the 1950's. Pathetic. AIDS has been around for about 25 years, so what's taking the medical community so long to cure it? What are medical researchers doing; do they go to the lab, sit around all day and play cards and then go home? Seriously, what the hell is taking so long to find a cure.

They haven't found the cure for the common cold yet either, "cures" don't come by easy, especially for viruses.

The human body is not x = x. Some symptoyms are similar among different problems.
At least look into the stuff first 😆

I agree.
That's like saying a Cop shouldn't get in trouble for accidently shooting someone.
"Well... it was a mistake! Everybody makes mistakes!"
No.

You're insight is blinding. I'm pre-med, will be accepted into med school this coming year and I have contact with the medical field on a daily basis, including medical ethics, and I work in the medical field.
So, you are correct, I'm not a doctor, but my opinion certainly has credentials to back it up, which is more than I can say for you.

You know what? Piss off. You know shit about this and have no where near the ability to be informed enough discuss issues. Try to read a scientific paper, you'll probably wet your pants.
If you're so concerned about it, devote your life to science. What do you do to contribute? Sit there and whine. GET OFF YOUR FAT @SS AND DO RESEARCH THEN.
I don't work my @ss off every day to sit here and let some bum tell me I'm not working hard. You have NO appreciation for how complex these diseases are and research is making TREMENDOUS process in treating these diseases.
Then the worst part? You say IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT YOU KNOW SHIT? You're so ****ing ignorant, you don't even know how complex this stuff is. You can't get any EFFING dumber than that. So shove your words right back where they came from, out of your @ss.
You think medicine knows everything? Knows how to fix everything? Well you're f*cking wrong. Medicine isn't like fixing a car. A car has blueprints, everything is visible, easily replaceable and studied in complete detail. You're body is not at all like that. Medicine is like trying to fix a car that you don't know the make and model of in a light-less room with one finger and a Popsicle stick. We don't know how everything works and it can sometimes seem impossible to figure out. You try to manipulate you sub-cellular machinery without killing you or giving you the shits so you dehydrate and pass out. Its not like tightening a lug nut or checking to see if the gas tank is full.
Medical Tests CAN BE WRONG. Thats why we like to do them again if they're serious. The guy may have not taken that chance, and simply run away hysterically as most people who are diagnoses with cancer feel like doing? If a mechanic aligns your tires and they're not quite right, you don't ****ign sue them. No harm was done to the man. He was irrational. Thats not the doctor's problem. Thats not the hospital's problem. Thats this dude's problem.

Thats why a lot of doctors are forced out of business.
