"That, in my opinion, is how medicine is practiced. The doctor just sits back and waits for trouble to unfold. When and if it gets bad enough, he/she will prescribe medication. Instead of being proactive they are reactive."
No. It's the other way around. Patients themselves are the ones who choose when to go to the dr. or not, and whether to actually follow doctor's orders.
I know people who decide to avoid going to the dr. and who avoid doing what they're told, because some radio or t.v. "dr" said this or that broad statement. I know people who have decided to take themselves off needed medicines because their neighbor's mother-in-law in Timbuktu was taken off that med for reasons specific only to her.
Some probably even consult TOTV and then decide to eliminate all foods that taste good to themselves, because this one guy who's not a dr. posts a lot about how terrible our food intakes are.
