I’m starting to believe that no BR area doctors have a clue…

I’m not sure how much PCP’s make in BR but when Peter was with NUCI he pulled in $700k back then and I think that was just NUCI and not his other work. I’m sure he’s well into $2 million a year now and he deserves every bit. He’s that intelligent. *He was also into finance back in the day working for McKinsey. His undergrad is mechanical engineering and applied mathematics.

When everyone believes what you tell them without question, why would you question if you’re wrong? The people teaching medical school are regurgitating what they learned 30 years ago to new medical students. So, until a lot of people challenge doctors I don’t think this cycle will change quickly.

Look how long it took the medical community to admit, and not all have, that cloth masks don’t do anything to stop respiratory viruses. It was so obvious that if I could smell everything through a t-shirt it wasn’t going to prevent microscopic virus particles from getting in my respiratory track. Yet, I got to wear a cloth mask at work because doctors didn’t called BS immediately.

The medical community moves extremely slow as a whole. We will be dead and gone and they will still be telling people to cut out fats and eat a lot of whole grains and avoid foods that are high in cholesterol like eggs. If you care about your health you just got to research stuff your damn self.

ive had the opportunity to get to know many an MD in my career.

most are idiots.

When you really think about how much information a doctor has to learn to become a doctor, then the first few years of being a doctor, and how hard they often have to work in it is it really a surprise that a bunch of them are not very opened minded? I mean if you have an illness they are often very good, but if you have something of a mind issue you often need a different type of doctor, if a doctor at all. It's good that people are starting to see what the doctors are really good for and starting to be more open minded to other practices. We just need this to become more of a widespread, cultural thought.

You are absolutely correct. I'm in no way knocking traditional U.S. medicine, as pharmaceuticals and surgeries save many people. Our med schools need to focus some of that energy on viewing the human body as a complex machine that may benefit from more simplistic solutions and long-term solutions, mainly diet, exercise, and stress relief.
