Probably underestimates the real number by a factor of 10, given the nature of institutions to cover up events that expose them to liability.

All the healthiest people I know never see a doctor. Ever.

It’s because we don’t have a “health” care system. We have a “sick” care system. If you’re not profitably sick these institutions have no use for you, and all the incentives are to never find a cure for anything, just perpetually more expensive treatments to keep the gravy train rolling.

That is the God's honest truth! And this is just one of the reasons why the vast majority of the crap we are fed about health insurance is a load of bunk. If you want to stay healthy pay attention to what your body is telling you but avoid going to the doctor or hospital for minor stuff.

One time we went to a little old man who had taken a fall and he didn't want to go to the hospital. His complaints were relatively minor. But his kids, his wife, and the paramedics all wanted him to go in and get checked out. So he went to the hospital with our paramedics. They released him the same day.

While he was at the hospital he picked up a case of respiratory MERSA, which is a contagious bacterial infection which is resistant to medication. Within a month both he and his wife were dead. It is hard to say how exactly he picked up the MERSA infection, but hospital emergency rooms are notorious for spreading MERSA infections.

We often went to people who were literally taking well over a dozen different meds. Every time they would go to a doctor they would get prescribed another medication and one doctor often won't take someone often a med that another doctor has prescribed. The multiple meds literally will make people sicker. Sometimes when they are put on hospice care and they are taken off their meds they make what appears to be a miraculous recovery.

Of course I have to admit that I put up with some severe abdominal pain for almost a month. When I started turning an unusual color my wife who is a nurse told me that if I didn't go get it checked out she was going to kill me herself. I told her it was all of the nagging that was what was making my tummy hurt, but she seemed pretty serious about it and she is very good shot... so I went in.

My appendix had been ruptured for over a week and I had a bad infection. I scoffed at the doctor when I was told that I would die if they didn't do surgery immediately. But he seemed pretty serious about it. They had to open me up from hip bone to hip bone and pull out my intestines and wash them off to get it cleared up. It turned out that my stubbornness almost did result in my untimely demise. So there are some things that you shouldn't try to ignore.
