Because a great many health issues don’t really require a doctor to treat. Most of the time the advice is something along the lines of, “rest and if it doesn’t go away in a week or gets worse, see a doctor.” Or “eat better and exercise.”
I’m not going to spend time and money going to the doctor for something that’s easily treatable at home with OTC meds and supplies, but I might look it up to see best practices on how I should treat it and at what point a doctor should get involved. It’s also a waste of the doctor’s time that could be spent on a patient that actually needs to see them.
Nah, stupidity and gullibility is universal
Wouldn’t dare to speak against that :) Yet i would still wonder who’d do that instead of going to a doc. It’s not like that would really help
