So how should physicians counsel patients, given that they have neither a megaphone large enough to address entire populations nor the prescience to discern the degree to which population applies to the individual or not?
- moi2388 1y agoYou can’t just test their liver to see if they have alcohol damage? Generally most patient who come in present no indications of alcohol poisoning whatsoever
- lotsofpulp 1y agoAlcohol damages more than the liver, and tests are not always accurate nor comprehensive.
- moi2388 1y agoAh yes. Tests fail to detect any of the detrimental effects of alcohol, so it’s the test that is flawed, you actually have severe damage that is somehow undetectable. Sounds legit dude
- lotsofpulp 1y agoMy comment does not imply any amount of alcohol causes severe damage. Your comment implied that a liver test was sufficient to claim alcohol was not causing damage.
