I see very little difference between today’s doctors and those of the medieval era. Lockdowns don’t work. Let’s have more lockdowns. Masks don’t work. Wear two masks. Bleed the patient. When that doesn’t work, take more blood. When the patient dies, blame the patient. They couldn’t tolerate the treatment.
Most doctors suck these days. It's a direct result of the education they receive, and the nature of the students who go to med school. The "old school" doctors, the ones who care about patient health, are a thing of the past.
I had kidney stones a year and a half ago- enough to require surgery, When I asked the urologist in the post surgery follow-up appointment if he thought my going on keto caused it, he said " I don't know - maybe, maybe not. That's a good question". I then asked if there was anything I should monitor to prevent a recurrence he responded "no, but we could put you on various medicines just in case"..
Not satisfied with that I researched the 'net and found a site at the University of Chicago and a doctor named Frederic Coe. This guy knows just about everything about kidneys and his site gave a number of steps to take to prevent them. I followed his protocols and voila- no stones, no pain, no nothing. It turns out the high protein, low carb diet was acidifying my urine, allowing uric acid to crystallize. By changing my diet this all ended.
The doctors office called me a few months ago about a follow-up visit. I told them about my findings and they said oh, ok. Saved $300.
