Ya, I read that part of the article as well just with a dash more pessimism. When I was a very healthy fit teenage girl I was put on Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor for acid reflux with doctors making literally no other attempt to understand why I was having issues in the first place. My first doctor decided that if I started having issues yet again after stopping them we would look at actually trying to figure out what the problem was. He left and the doctor I returned too just gave me a prescription for a years worth of the drug. And that’s the story of why I don’t trust doctors anymore. Actually just one of them.
