st434u Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 In Argentina, where I'm from, an old slang term for doctor is "matasanos" which means "one who kills the healthy". Does your body have a deficiency of drugs, X-rays, vaccines, and other medical treatments? The human body is far too complex for some wannabe engineer to monkey around with it and try to fix things that are wrong. We can fix machines that break down because we know how they're built, and we can build them. We can't build a human body. We can't even manufacture a single human cell. I learned from an early age and from first-hand experience, that if I wanted to stay healthy, I had to keep as far away from doctors as I could. The only reason I would see a doctor is if I had a foreign item, such as a bullet, that needed to be removed. Or perhaps if I had a broken bone that needed to be set. But that's about it. There is now more medical treatment and intervention than ever before, and there is more disease than ever before. You decide which caused which. 1
Wuzzums Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 "Bad Pharma" by Ben Goldacre goes in exhaustive detail about this whole phenomenon, a really great read. Unfortunately he offers no real solutions other than the evident "we need more regulation" mantra.
AccuTron Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 In Argentina, where I'm from, an old slang term for doctor is "matasanos" which means "one who kills the healthy"... Wow, thanks for that feedback. "Bad Pharma" by Ben Goldacre goes in exhaustive detail about this whole phenomenon, a really great read. Unfortunately he offers no real solutions other than the evident "we need more regulation" mantra. I also discovered his videos and they are very good.
