Yes, there are several doctors in my family. They are great at treating acute problems and absolutely clueless about managing chronic health conditions unless there is a drug for it.
- nradov 3y agoThe majority of chronic health conditions are the result of lifestyle choices. Those are largely outside the scope of medicine, and it is unreasonable to expect solutions from doctors. They have some drugs that can ameliorate symptoms in severe cases but those mostly don't address root causes. Patients might get better results from a personal trainer, dietician, therapist, or social worker.
