Nurse Confessions: Don’t Get Sick in July

[gvstn]

13. Doctors are great for a broken arm or similar traumatic injury.

But anything less concrete than that I really don't cotton to them unless they can tell me the proper ointment to put on a wound.

If you:

exercise, eat somewhat healthy, keep my weight down, and feel fine.

That is the best any of us can do. I really hate ads for drugs that say something like we think this drug works this way but we don't really know. If you don't know how the drug works then how do you know about side effects? Any drug can get approved for a particular purpose as long as it works for at least 50% of the persons in the trial. That means it may not work on 49% of people taking it. I can't accept that as a reasonable analysis. Blood pressure, thyroid ect. medicines that nobody really can prove work to improve lifespan are just crap when prescribed wantonly.
