I get what you're saying, but the promise of the medical system and the implementation of the medical system aren't really aligned. Sure 50% of problems are naive patients, but the other 50% are doctors or a system that doesn't know how to talk to you or treat you, or there's just an ocean of uncertainty in how to operate. You show the negative side from the doctor perspective, but on the other hand. Doctor's aren't really trained in 'health' they're trained in pathology. If you're really sick they can provide help, but if you want to optimize or you're kind of sick, or your numbers are borderline. Medicine is just sort of not a hard science, there's way too much uncertainty. You mention people demanding antibiotics, but the doctor's are just as bad -- last time I tried to have a nuanced discussion about it with a practitioner, the answer was a simple "x days is the standard of care". Not to mention that the doctors would have to be up to date on the latest versions of research in a ton of different areas to have some of those answers anyway. I'm not going to leave terrible reviews about it, but I rarely leave a medical office feeling satisfied that there are firm answers on anything.
