It's difficult to find a doctor for anything besides simple obvious stuff. Most people never have to deal with it, and even if their doctors goof, the patient doesn't realize. I'm like the OG fact checker on everything doctors say. It's disturbing how often they are full of shit. It's not unlike mechanics, many people cannot judge their work, so you have to believe whatever the mechanic says, or hope you can get a better mechanic.

So when you say, we must listen to the Medical Professionals, I think why would anyone put too much faith in that pack of jokers.

no, I don't think you should send a letter to all the doctors in your area, because that would be fucking deranged

It's difficult when you can't find a professional more capable than oneself. We didn't start out here, but leaving things to their own devices does not work.

Yes. There are several strategies to finding a good doctor, the first of which is to get recommendations. Another method is to try a different doctor if you are not satisfied with your current doctor, until you meet one you like. It should be unlikely that they will be terrible doctors. The won't answer letters - which is why I thought Site's comment was funny. At best, a nurse will send you a form letter.

In normal times they'd probably ignore it. Doctors offices are empty these days, you probably didn't read that link from the Journal of Medical Ethics I sent but they acknowledge public faith in their industry has been lost.

Plus the letter contains all my relevant medical history. Trying to explain 26 years in the 5 minutes a doctor actually half listens is tricky.

Also, when have you been right about anything?

Of course you're a dick to those who offer you good information. Do mention this in the letter. Meanwhile, I'll do my best to avoid you like I would the plague.

It's already in the letter, asshole.
