True this!!!🤯💔
…I’m a physician and have a close friend that is a vet. He and his partner actually lay hands on their patients work thru common probabilities of disease to determine cost effective treatment plans with uncanny accuracy and minimal extraneous testing (X-ray imaging and lab… although even their utilization of these supplements have slowly increased). They aren’t always right and sometimes have to alter the course of treatment but their results are shockingly good with minimal complications related to treatments (iatragenic complications).
Modern Medicine has been centralized and co-opted by governments and corporations. This in turn has driven algorithmic medicine, a one size fits all approach, which often disregards cost effectiveness, minimizes personal contact between patients and physicians, has resulted in the skyrocketing use of imaging and laboratory (both very lucrative), and a bias towards the use of newer more expensive treatments over traditional treatments (which are typically cheaper and time tested). Iatragenic injuries have increased dramatically which is likely a consequence of the push toward rapid development of patents for these new and more costly treatments.
In addition the changes have driven increasing specialization of medicine which has created the effect of a medical mill where seeking problems unrelated to a patient’s complaint are incentivized. Patients are then plugged into this medical mill and referred to other (sometimes multiple) specialists who have their own algorithm for treatment and follow up. Elderly patients (over 70 yo) are not uncommonly seeing 4-5 different physicians a month. Many are on multiple medications prescribed from multiple different physicians.
All medications have safety and metabolic profiles but these will vary from patient to patient. In addition there is no model that can fully predict the effect of multiple medications on the metabolism and safety of each other… much less accounting for genetic variation in different patients and their different states of health. Think of the difficulty of predicting a 3 body model on steroids and then increased logarithmically and u get the picture.
IMHO modern medicine has abandoned the Hippocratic Oath (first do no harm) in favor of profits and who knows what else…but this is jus one idgit’s opinion🤷🏽‍♂️
