11. As someone who studied science, and believe in it.

And went to school and were friends who became doctors, Veterinarians and Dentists. Never believe they are scientist or even understand science.

I respect physicians. But they are often technicians.

They often don’t understand the science behind what they do. Many do. Many don’t. They often watch the same right wing news sources as many Americans.

Always question your doctor. Either to them or in your head. 25 years ago my cholesterols was 195. I had a doctor wanting to put me on statins. Even though my good cholesterol was higher than my bad. And my triglycerides have always been low. I refused. Now that would be an unethical recommendation.

Use your common sense. Doctor and nurses are as prone to woo as anyone.

And they are often influenced by pharmaceutical sales folks.

If you cholesterol Is 300 you have a problem. It’s not cut and dried. Something is going to kill all of us.

This nurse may be sincere. But I doubt it. I see a grift coming on.
