When I think of the doctors I work with, mostly younger than I (as most my age have quit or retired) compared to the doctors I worked with 40 years ago.... There is no intellectual curiosity, there is little bedside manners, there are no teaching moments with the staff or patients. EVERYTHING is a checklist. Repeat patients with the same diagnosis get the same checklist--redone -- of course with no change or alternative thought process. Definitely a push over the years to discharge earlier and earlier. We DO keep track of: length of stay, estimated length of stays ( on admission) and give a score to predict chances of readmission. (which generally are pretty high) We NO LONGER keep track of vaccine status ( makes it much harder to do a retrospective study on effects) .
This whole premise is ridiculous. Without argument.
HOWEVER I couldn't agree more that patients need less medication, more exercise and more fresh air. I also personally believe that unless there's no other alternative staying out of hospital and away from what passes as a physician these days is your best chance of survival. Seek a naturopathic treatment as often as possible. Do your research. Or find an old school doctor you can trust.
These younger doctors will swallow this bs just as they did the covid stuff without question because not only are now employees of the hospital, they are in capable of independent critical thought and seen to lack any moral obligation( not all... But most of the ones I come in contact with).
