I don't know that you can fix this. This is what people want. They need to feel like they've researched and made intelligent decisions, even when they haven't.

I don't know that you can fix this. This is what people want. They need to feel like they've researched and made intelligent decisions, even when they haven't. After all, doctors aren't in it to make them feel better, it's all just some big conspiracy to make them more money (sarcasm). My wife is an oncology surgeon and it's absolutely mindblowing the things her patients tell her or later post on Facebook. One of her latest winners is someone that flew cross country to California to get things like 3D Bio-Scans. 3D you say? That sounds useful. It's a 3D image of you, your cancer, your organs, etc, right? No. I'm taking this straight from their website: > It has four FDA-approved technologies in one: Pulse Oximetry, Body Composition, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and Galvanic Skin Response Devices; Not a damn one of those is going to tell you anything about cancer. And then there's thermagrams, where they basically check your skin temperature to try and diagnose internal medicine, like cancer, colitis, gluten allergies, etc. And people just buy this shit up. It really just reminds me of Steve Jobs' quote on television: When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.
