re: I wonder if medical students realize...

If you look at recent statistics, we aren't living longer.
Now, if you look at the time before sanitary water and personal grooming habits got much better, say around the beginning of the 1900's until today, life spans and health have increased. If I remember correctly, penicillin wasn't used a lot until the time period during WW2. It was seen as a miracle because it was.
Things have now become very unbalanced to the other extreme.
So does that mean we need to look down on medical students? Or only the ones who don't only subscribe to your naturopathic views?

I vividly remember going to a doctor for a physical. He looked at his computer more than he looked at me.
This is when I stopped going to my GP... he used to not be that way, but the entire practice turned into zombies around the time of covid, it was very disconcerting.

Take the loss Robin. This thread didn't go like you thought it would. You had a few PT idiots bite, but when you got called out, you ran away
Much more to your surprise, this thread has confirmed the loss of respect the general public has for main stream medicine (allopaths).
Ad hominem attacks will never replace reasoned responses.

I wouldn’t consider consensus here to representative of the general public on its face.

I had a few reasoned responses, as well as others, but you ignored them.

OK doctor, answer this if you can.
What kind of practice do you have? Individual personally owned practice or do you work in a clinic with many other physicians? If you work in a clinic, is you practice in any way influenced by the administration of the clinic?

You keep using “clinic” without defining wtf you mean by it.

Clinc, as in a large facility with many medical professionals that have an administration over them.
That means an administration that may pressure their doctors to treat patients in certain profitable ways and/or set up pay scales that give financial incentives for doing so.

It seems more like what you are getting at is “do you work for a large hospital system/academic center or a private practice.” PPs can be solo (very rare nowadays) or large groups of physicians.

Thanks for admitting that most physicians work in large clinics. Its almost impossible to find a doctor tgat has their own practice. When I was young most physicians worked in their own practice, now they work in large clinics and are influenced by the administration of these corporations.

We do and we need big pharma and insurance to be dismantled and reimagined so the doctors can actually do their job.

This is retarded. Nobody is arguing that there is no doctoring that's high value and necessary for a healthy/productive life. What's being pointed out, and should be obvious for anyone paying attention, is that the medical industry isn't special/altruistic (like it sees itself) and is pretty pedestrian in that it's chock-full of bullshite, fearmongering to drive revenue, and teeming with entitled dipshits patting themselves on the back.

I’m confused why you think this is some type of gotcha

What do you think is the main reason why solo practices are much rarer now than they used to be? Do you think it’s because doctors love to be told what to do by administrators
Also, explain why a 20 physician private practice is “under the thumb of some administrators” any more than a solo private practice?
It’s clear you really haven’t thought all of this through….

The post you quoted was a direct response to the OP that said all medical students will be looked down upon like car salesmen and lawyers. I simply pointed out how stupid that blanket statement, only made for PT idiot up votes, was. And the OP has ignored every challenge to it

“common sense” =/= RFK Jr. Far from it. Jesus, people, what’s wrong with you?
Do you honestly believe the crap you post, really?

If they don't like doctors they can always go to faith healers.....or perform the surgeries themselves.

Sounds like a good time to become a witch doctor.
I've been saving my chicken bones and trapping frogs since 2021. There are some bats not far from me. I'm still trying to figure out what eye of newt is.
