“because physicians can change peoples genetics and hobits? really?”
Conventional physicians will perform mental cartwheels to avoid using nutrition, supplements and other simple approaches to health. Wellness MD’s, on the other hand, achieve far more with little or no Pharma. The difference is pride and ego wrapped into conventional medicine. It is a cover for serious lack of understanding of real health. Conventional American MD’s are by and large some of the stupidest people on the planet.
Are we genetically defective here in America? We might also be the least healthy population on the planet. Most over-vaxxed, most sugared-up, most obsessed with dietary fats (and when we do eat fat, we eat the wrong ones). And the MD’s happily prescribe pills to hide all the symptoms of obesity and over-vaccination.
Ok. go to your wellness dr and have at it. I hope they have the latest technology to treat your heart attack and can take your appendix out when it goes bad — or are you like the millions of others that do natural medicine the. come running to conventional medicine abs berate is for not being able to fix years of neglect instantly?
I have people who have done coffee enemas for their treatable cancer until it is no longer treatable the. show up to the hospital 90% dead and are shocked and angry that I can do nothing for them. So I hope you don’t really need one of us a holes as you call us one day
we physicians diagnose and form a treatment plan. We frequently refer our patients to dietitians and nurse practitioners to work with them in diet and exercize.
But then, I've spent my decades as a doctor working with poor people.
In contrast, a lot of the "wellness" types tend to be upper class people, usually women, who go from one fad to another. The "holistic" types tend to be believers in the New Age religion and a lot of it is self hypnosis and positive thinking.
This attitude helps people to take responsibility for their health, but can be emotionally devastating when you actually face a fatal illness.
My aren’t we full of ourself this morning.
Since you are obviously an overly angry yet completely ignorant jackass as an intensivist (“conventional MD” who is stupid) every day I round in my ICU twice and part of the multidisciplinary team I lead includes — wait for it — dieticians!
I happily invite you to go as naturopathic as you want. You are free to do so. But your visceral anger and spewing attacks at the most educated of professionals marks you as someone begging to be considered relevant and intelligent. You are neither.
I join Mom MD and Lady doc inviting you to f*uck off. With all due respect
You're insulting the very people putting their lives on the line trying to keep our fellow Americans alive. Some of those fine people are in this very thread, largely agreeing with the overarching premise of it. Yet here you sit happily insulting them in between their long shifts pulling patients back from the brink.
Personally, I think that's disgusting and I think you should be ashamed. These are fine people doing a hard job. I - for one - am thankful they've dedicated their lives to this.
