The only way I could hate it more is if I had to have surgery and the surgeon was going to be RFK Jr.
It already killed my mom idk how much more I can hate it
I promise you I hate it enough. Source: I’m in it
I will double down on hating it more, fine fine!
Stuff like this makes me wonder, at what point is it bad enough that the truisms about leaving medical advice to licensed healthcare professionals become wrong, and everyone would be better off turning to anything else instead of engaging with the system? Are we not there yet? How much further would there be to go?
this might be an extremely unpopular and controversial opinion, but the solutions are gate-kept by the system.
need a doctor and insurance’s permission to get the test to confirm a diagnosis. some labwork can be ordered online independently, but it’s limited and extremely expensive. as far as i know you can’t get most imaging other than a DEXA without a doctor.
say you feel confident about a diagnosis for whatever reason… well now the only way to get that medication for that condition… is with a prescription. pirate pharmacies exist, but the medications they carry are limited.
i’d have so much less of a problem with this stuff being “gate-kept” (because i DO understand the reason behind the “gate-keeping”) if doctors actually did anything.
I hate it enough I can’t return from being an expat because of it. I guess you could say that if I hated it more I’d do more to actively fight it, but I kinda feel powerless there. I’m not really a leader. I don’t feel like my inability to fight it more makes me hate it less.
I’m indifferent to it. I figure it must work well enough for them or they’d change it to a more modern system.
