Boy, no kidding. We have the Police Hate and the Doctor Hate crowds on here that congregate.
Some people have an issue and they go on the Internet to get information on their own, and end up digesting information from people who feel exactly as they do. A self-licking ice cream cone.
I am glad for people who are 70 years old and haven’t had to go to a doctor in their entire life, but I take issue with them saying anyone who goes to a doctor is a fool.
The 70 yr old you describe is most likely overweight , diabetic, smokes, has COPD, and wonders why they don’t feel good. No doubt they’ll go to the ever reliable interwebs and find some “natural” cure
Saying that docs tend to do rely on their experience and routine so newer treatments or understanding is out there is kind of a no brainer
