Of course they do
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoHmm, must’ve just slipped past me when reviewing the medical guidelines that inform almost all of a doctor’s decision-making.
- unsupp0rted 1y agoDoctors are, unfortunately so far, people. And they're also gatekeepers to care. It's naive to think they don't discriminate on all sorts of factors outside the guidelines, for instance when treating fellow doctors. Not that they'll admit to it. I know doctors who won't even admit to it to themselves. But they still do it: they'll just call it by a different name or make up an outside reason.
- sorcerer-mar 1y agoUh huh… and how exactly does this demonstrate that Biden would’ve gotten PSA screening after 70 against the guidelines?
