Why are doctors useless?

Question

How come every time I go to a doctor - any doctor for any ailment - most of the time their solution is to get me out of the office with some sort of self-help nonsense?

I mean, if I did everything that doctors told me to, I'd spend 4 hours every morning doing specialized exercises, taking random medications, and performing a saline rinse of every o*****e.

The whole reason you go to a doctor is so you can be cured! I don't care what they need to inject, amputate, or dissect as long as I don't have to worry about it! That's their job!

I don't take my car with a broken door hinge in only to have the mechanic tell me to hold the door shut while I drive!

Answer 1

Very well said. As a former insider in the medical profession, I can tell you that most USA doctors couldn't care squat whether you live or die. All they care about is money. And most of them don't know Jack Squat. I've finally been on the path of health and recovery since I put my symptoms on google and started researching, getting blood work that confirmed I accurately diagnosed myself. Now I'm treating myself with natural remedies.

We would never pay a plummer who tells us "yeah your pipes are clogged, no idea how to fix. Learn to live with it till  you move. $500 please". IT's insane! This country needs a patient's rebellion! (Could it be that the drug companies are owned by the Middle E... nooo!)

Answer 2

All i can say is i totally agree with you! Everytime i go to the doc & tell them im in chronic pain, they do nothing but tell me to stay positive & do all this holistic stuff.

Ive completely given up on Docs all together..

Answer 3

You're seeing the wrong doctors.

Mine don't do that.

Answer 4

Try lots of other doctors. They really aren't rubbish or at least not any I've been to.

Answer 5

Oh My, we are grouchy are we not? Ha-aha!

The problem here Poppet, is that Doctors are human beings just like anybody else.

They can't get everything right all of the time.

So sometimes it is a process of elimination. Trying different remedies if you like, until they find one that works for you.

None of us like going to the Doc's,but think how we would be if they didn't exist. Good Luck, what ever your problem.

OMG... You could be the poster child for bad patients!! I hardly know where to begin... 70% of most ailments are lifestyle related... in other words preventable. Along the same lines, many of the best... and least dangerous cures are a direct result of what YOU do or don't do. You are apparently one of those that just want a magic pill so you can do whatever self-destructive behaviors you want. Well, among other things that's just lazy, but also it doesn't work... and as a result... when it doesn't work, you take to biyotching about the doctors not being able to cure you... when YOU are responsible for doing YOUR part in YOUR care.

If you took your car to the mechanic and you had been driving it without changing the oil when you should, didn't watch the gauges for problems, didn't check the water levels and let the radiator go dry, didn't inflate the tires to the proper pressure, etc., would you think the mechanic might rightly be telling you to do a few things for the sake of your car? That's what a doctor is doing when he tells you what YOU need to do to get better.

Your rant is ridiculous.

Answer 7

Your last line in your question is CLASSIC...LOL..

The main reason most (Not All) Western Doctors are Useless for most ailments is they are LIMITED in their TRUE knowledge of the Human Body and What it Needs Nutritionally to Function...I was Raised by One Physician completely trained in Western Medicine (Orthopedic Surgeon) and My Mother  was a PHD. in Nutrition...therefore we  (my bros and Sis) were raised By-Way-Of Preventative Medicine...as are MY Children...I couldn't be Happier with my Decision as I have the HEALTHIEST Kids I have ever had the privilege of meeting...

Answer 8

Calm down!!!! If some doc has told you to do "specialized exercises, taking random medications, and performing a saline rinse of every o*****e", he would have definitely told you coz he would have felt those are the best for whtever you went there for. I dont think a good doc would prescribe you a medication evrey time u go there (unless you absolutely need the medication).... coz most medications have side effects.. so trust your doc!
