I work with doctors every day. They are programmed to just believe "authorities" without question. If you argue with or question the chief medical officer, you will be either fired or harassed until you leave and those guys make all kinds of dumb rules to be followed for patients. They are also monetarily incentivized to do certain things. For example, depression screenings on each patient (written by one of the big pharma companies) and to do "follow ups" including prescribing drugs if the score is over X.
I finally found a doc I like. He was excited that I'd been treating myself for years and my lab work showed I've been successful and we discussed research articles about my issues and I was amazed that he was so open minded.
I'm not a particularly pushy person, I'll just not go back if something about them bothers me. The only reason I wanted a doc is because Quest has started giving me a very hard time ordering my own tests - they broke their website during covid and haven't bothered to fix it, so I actually have to talk to them and it's brutal. "Why come you don't have a doctor order?"
Exactly! I have my master's and learned to just spew what they told me while rolling my eyes. I just needed the damned piece of paper. It's why I didn't bother getting my doctorate. I couldn't deal with going through more of that bullshit.
The cool doc I found used to be a doc in a psych facility. I get the impression he got tired of dealing with drugged up zombies. He started his own family practice to have more freedom. He just started a few months ago and the number of times I heard him ask for something from the staff and they said "we've never done that here but I have a list of referrals" was amazing. He kept saying - "well put that on the list to order." Sounds like the previous doc just handed out scripts and didn't bother doing doctor stuff like draining abscesses or stitches.
People are brainwashed by silly TV shows such as House where doctors are experimenting diagnosis and treatments and going against protocol and being insubordinate. Real life it is a top down bureaucracy with risk assessment and revenue streams which comes from government and corporations pushing their drugs and medical equipment.
I lived with my mom for a bit and she was watching some movie that I caught a snippet of and I laughed out loud. Those docs would be reprimanded and fired. You have to follow the protocol set forth by the hospital/clinic/conglomerate.
Insurance is also a big determining factor in treatment. My doc had to diagnose me with some weird ass diagnosis just to get my insurance to cover a test that I'd been ordering myself for years to check on my autoimmune issues. He said even though I had a clear autoimmune problem, treatment would be the same no matter what my antibody numbers were so they wouldn't cover a test to see if my experiments were lowering them or not. He essentially gave me a mystery disease so we can keep ordering the tests to see what supplements help.
Yep. These hospital TV shows are propaganda as well as the cop TV shows depicting police officers as these super intelligent and brave investigators who solve every crime. In real life the police just show up, print out a report and tell you to hand it to your insurance company and don't even collect any evidence.
Glad you found a doctor that suits you :)
I wonder if there are alternatives to Quest... that would be super handy
Labcorp, but they don't seem to allow self orders. I think it's Sonora Quest and Labcorp in my neck of the desert. I kinda don't think they have any competition. There was a law passed when that crazy woman did the Theranos thing that allows us to order our own lab work out here, but the labs don't seem to keen on it. Before they broke their website, I was able to order and pay and when I went in, it looked to them like a doc ordered it, so there weren't any questions. Now, it's an argument every time and they shut down a bunch of their offices, so the one I go to is weeks out for a blood draw appointment, when it used to be same day or at worst two days out.
