Doctors are just people. I personally don’t trust a single one and why I always get multiple opinions.
The sooner they’re replaced by automation that’s far superior in terms of accuracy and diagnosis, the better.
Just a hundred years ago doctors were doing wack shit like chopping off limbs and giving people toxins or cocaine. Maybe the cocaine isn’t so bad.
Today they give us SSRIs and opioids.
They are given far too much credit imo when they’re just mechanics. Just like you can get into an accident because brakes failed or something and you’re left with pain and suffering or you die.
I’ve had a misdiagnosis before. It has left me with continued pain and I do thank the second doctor who realized the former doctors mistake and did his best to make me as whole as possible.
I don’t trust doctors. And I don’t think that highly of them either.

I assume you are not referring to the procedural specialties of medicine. My spouse does complex aortic surgery; I don’t think most of her patients would consent to seeing her replaced by a robot. But who knows, techno-dystopias have a strange appeal for some.
- thenerdhead 3y agoThe reputation of these noble jobs are going straight out the window. The same that happened to "an honest mechanic" when that used to be a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iatrogenesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iatrogenesis is absolutely a thing and is likely how many of these industries work. The excess activity causes more problems for others to solve.
