The problem here is that it is the medical professional who is pushing the ineffective treatment.
- Spivak 5y agoIt goes the other way too. If you have anything but the most common illnesses or conditions that you are likely more knowledgeable about your situation than your PCP since they're the tier 1 help desk of medicine. This kind of thing is totally fine and expected, it's why specialists exist but it's really frustrating because your PCP is often treated as a either a gatekeeper or unnecessary busywork to get to the more qualified person.
