[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was the #1 rule I’ve told my kids when they went off to college, don’t just trust what the doctor says.

Listen and discern if it makes sense, [b]do your own research[/b], get a 2nd opinion.

They’ve both learned that doctors are just mediocre humans doing the best they can which is mediocre.

Also, don’t just go to anyone, get recommendations, look at their track record, interview them, don’t worry about their feelings.[/quote]

This is how people ended up injecting themselves with horse dewormer to treat Covid. [/quote]

Covid did a lot to damage trust between healthcare providers and people. Some of the info and guidelines we got (Covid did come from a lab, remote learning, distancing...) were in hindsight not all great. Horse dewormer is obvious insanity, but having some degree of skepticism and questioning is not a bad thing. And that is outside of the fact that healthcare is a huge business, we have med commercial on tv for some of the worst meds to drum up revenue, insurance companies guide treatment...There is a lot to fix about our system.[/quote]

Whatever are you going on about? Distancing was prudent, as was remote learning. I have no idea what you're referencing about it coming from a lab -- that's tin foil hat bullshit.[/quote]

Was it prudent for restaurant workers? Small business owners?  People living in abusive households?

I’m glad YOU were not negatively impacted by Covid, but surely you realize that your experience is not everyone’s experience. [/quote]
