It’s a widely held tenet in our society that if you get sick, you should visit your doctor to “get well.”
But many physicians are relatively clueless about “wellness care,” they are in the business of disease treatment.
This is why the vast majority of physicians’ visits end up with a medication being prescribed, or if that is not appropriate, a surgery or invasive medical test is often recommended.
What is blatantly missing from many of these appointments is a discussion of what is causing your ailment ... which often means hope for a real “cure” is forsaken in favor of expensive and often dangerous symptom management.
