    Doctors just don’t know shit about a lot of stuff too. Other commenter said Gen z can’t read a scientific journal article or study, but shit I think half the doctors forgot that skill when they graduated. They also know next to fucking nothing about diet and preventative care.

      It’s largely a problem with misusing specialty doctors and emergency rooms. There needs to be a decade long focus on more family medicine doctors and improving their workload and pay.

      ER and urgent care doctors are trained in acute care and trauma. They aren’t trained or meant to handle chronic disease or preventative care, they are meant to handle after the bad thing happens.
