Yeah, I’m guessing the downvoters have better doctors than I’ve seen lately (which is a weird reason to discount another person’s experiences, but downvotes don’t really matter, so whatever.) I’m still trying to find a good GP with my new insurance. Hopefully I can find someone like the CVS doc you met. I don’t have to be sold on vaccines, or be reminded several times to finish all of my antibiotics, or need a precautionary lecture about not needing antibiotics because something’s viral. I know how the immune system works, I learned about it as a child, I continue to read medical articles when I come across them, and I always read the pamphlet that comes with new medications.
Again, I don’t fault doctors for having to do all that - they’re just doing their job. I’m more upset that society has access to all this free information, yet there are still so many people that ignore science that doctors feel the need to explain things like we’re all new to it, just in case.
