If you're sick or have some sort of symptoms, you better hope it's something common. Everything else is basically guesswork and then you try some different medicines or run some different tests and hope something sticks.
- zzt123 5y agoThis, I think, is a general result of trials/evidence-based medicine in combination with the combinatorics of the human body in combination with decentralized, unsearchable, overly-privatized health data. I don’t think the medical community is where the disappointment should lie, in the sense that I would find it difficult to fault any average individual practitioner.
- tata71 5y agoNo, fault the AMA for pumping out so many academics who can't keep a person healthy, just treat their symptoms/today's ailment.
