A community for chronically ill people.

Rules

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.

GPs are not science, they are people. People make mistakes. They also have varying levels of education, mental health issues, personal problems, general human stuff.

That's the point.

Ok, take whatever issues GP’s have and extrapolate it to the average American by first multiplying by a million because the average American is a fucking idiot.

And a lot of doctors are too.
