Yes...I find it best to avoid doctors...MDs...unless you break something or are nearing incapacitation

If you give a doctor enough time with you in a hospital he will kill you most assuredly. I rank oncologists as the most prolific profiteers purveying their glorified rat poison.

This is exactly our MO on this. The internet has *almost* made them obsolete.

My 95yo MIL went for a required check up. Hadn’t been to a doctor in years. She told the doc when he walked in...I will not take any medications. She never has in her life. After her exam, the doc told her she had a clean bill of health and good for her. She only went to get some insurance for her burial, which she figures she will need soon enough. My MIL lives in her own home, drives her own car and goes to daily mass. She’s healthy as a horse.
