A picture aptly summing up the medical profession’s refusal to even consider symptoms and the over reliance on tests they cannot interpret 🤣👍

Or to even actually look at the patient in front of them and see anything untoward!

Indeed RedApple,

My faith has been obliterated- now I just use them and question everything they say. A GP who lives on the next block knows I’ve bullishly demanded dose increases to get to therapeutic replacement, making a few waves on the way. He has seen me bouncing past his place on a few occasions- doing well and I know he knows it’s not down to their treatment regime, but the regime I drove through. If he just had the courage and humility I would happily sit down with him and explain why I looked so much better since I took charge of my own health management. It is such a shame that this person is in charge of training at the local surgery🙄.
