Doctors are Dumb

IME, that is. Some know their shit, but the vast majority of them don't. They rarely keep up with literature or new findings & technology. They know little to nothing about the role of nutrition & exercise in combating diseases, even though the literature is riddled with papers on these avenues of therapy.

I could write a book about how my sis and I fought all these dummies over my mom's health care. The doctor who performed my mom's hyperparathyroidectomy never even heard of minimmally invasive radio-guided extraction via Tc99. All I did was google scholar it.

Anyway, when my 1st sifu got into a motocycle accident at 30, and a 4" piece of steel severed all the muscle fibers in his lower back, the doctors said he would never walk unassisted again. He started taking tai chi and learning about chinese medicine. At 46 years old, he is hard as steel and can do butterfly kicks across the gym.
