GEEZ! ...are some medications worth it?

You look 'em up , and the side affects and long term affects really make me wonder if its just better to hack it out med free.

Do doctors even pay attention to what you say? Ive just been given stuff that made my blood pressure sky rocket to stroke levels .

This isnt the first time my doctor has been ignorant . I want to throttle her . She takes no notes , and shoves pills at me with no questions asked.

And i chose her coz she's indian, [you know , India indian , not red indian,] Not to stereo type , but i thought she might be open to more treatments than just shoving tablets at a person .

Im so over this .
I think ill stick with cold Turkey .....and booze😏

You have any bad choices by doctors thrown at you ?

I've had meds that seemed to do more harm than good before. It sucks, but there's not always a better way to do it; everyone's bodies are unique and our conditions are, too. Trial and error is necessary at times. That said, it's still bad for a doctor to come off as unresponsive to their patient, for any reason.
@BlueVeins i think in some countries GP's have it tough.
I mean, 10 minites to assess, diagnose and fix a patient's problem !?!
That's insane !.
I had a guy come look at an elelctrical problem, and it took him that long to locate it and assess it.

A human body is way more complex.

How can 10 minutes be enough ?
Esp when ywars ago , the standard doctor visit was more than twice as long.

And if this is all some doctors are doing , then how much of a stretch is it to design a program that does the very same thing . You input your symptoms, and it spits out a script.

Some doctors are no better than that 😒
