And let us not forget... if you go to the doctor, you are doing so willingly. You are not forced to utilize anyone's services. You are more than free to abstain, and honestly, I wish you would. I hope you never darken my door. I hope you never darken the door of any of my colleagues. Why? Not because we don't want to help anyone... on the contrary, we love to help people who want help, who are willing to take our advice, or at least consider it, who make rational (instead of emotional) decisions, who are invested in their own care, who want to work together with us to improve their health.
Let's face it, most medical conditions today aren't "fixed"... they're treated. Not because, as you allege, we in the medical field are inept, callous, or uncaring, but there simply ISN'T a cure. I'm sure you could do better, though.
There reason I hope you never come see me is because of the attitude you've expressed above, which definitely seems more to me like so many of the entitlement crowd whom I see daily - "Fix me, doc. I don't want to do anything, I don't want to work at it, I want you to fix it - and if you can't, then I am going to blame you and try to find a way to sue you."
That may sound like hyperbole, but I assure you 1000% it is NOT. That is LITERAL. I see patients like that daily. and people like you, who want to oversimplify the most complicated, most researched, most groundbreaking and most accomplished field in the history of mankind make it NOT worth our while. Make it NOT enjoyable and make us want to walk away and tell you to go fix yourself, since you know so much more about it - from Dr. Google.
Just so you know, I'm working on my own exit strategy - and let the entitled masses of the United States deal with it without me... and any others who get fed up as well.
