Many physicians are open to be wrong, I’m around physicians of all specialties….good physicians not only attend continuing education, but ask the speaker questions, medicine changes…when you arrive at the ED, they have to figure out what’s wrong…and they use experience, education and each other to decide on treatment. If your dr can’t be wrong, get a new dr.

[@terramarini6880]

My favorite doctor had no reservations about pulling his reference materials off the shelf and consulting them when he didn't know/wasn't sure. He was all about expanding his skill set. We lost him due to the small town problem of patients knowing where he lived and bothering him at his door over nonsense. Interrupting a birthday party his wife worked hard to organize on a weekend (kid had a cold with a snotty nose), was the last straw, she wanted out and now they're gone.

I'm still studying pharmacy this is my last semester , and I find this doctor so insulting

[@conorstewart2214]

It is actually a large problem now, we need more doctors like Mike on social media and elsewhere. I have Crohn’s disease and saw a program that talked about and focussed on bowel issues and they had an episode on Crohns, so I watched it, the doctor they got on was awful and didn’t know what she was talking about. She said the only two options for treatment are steroids or surgery, completely ignoring the fact that immune system suppressants (azathioprine, mesalamine, etc) and biologics are an option too, Humira, a biologic for IBD has been around for at least 20 years. Steroids are only a short term treatment and most people with Crohns or other IBD are on immune system suppressants or biologics and they do work very well, meaning people now are unlikely to ever need surgery for it. She really can’t argue that she didn’t know, the drugs have been around and used for a while and pretty much everyone now does end up on them, the first treatment they try is steroids to try and get it under control, if it doesn’t stay under control they go for immune system suppressants and if that doesn’t work they go for biologics, surgery is a last resort option that is only used when no other treatment has helped or there is too much scarring built up, even then surgery just leads to more scarring so isn’t a perfect solution and it doesn’t stop it from coming up elsewhere in the bowel. Some of the other things she said are actively harmful to the public perception of IBD. She spoke a lot about diet and how that is important and can treat IBD. It doesn’t. There is no real evidence that diet can treat it at all really (there are a series of papers published by the same group of people but I don’t consider them as real evidence until papers come out from other researchers which for some reason they have not) other than a liquid diet of nutritional drinks which only works because it puts very little stress on the bowel since it is a liquid, they often use it in children and teenagers to avoid having to use steroids. As for food triggers for IBD, foods that make it worse, they vary from person to person and some people, like me, don’t have any noticeable food triggers. For people with IBD, “healthy” diets can actually be the most harmful or most likely to cause problems because of the extra stress they put on the bowel, especially high fibre or whole food diets because they are harder to digest, for a lot of people the foods they turn to as their “safe” foods when in a flare are what most people would consider unhealthy, lots of carbs, lots of processed food (like fast food), but it is easy to digest and hence lessens their symptoms (note it doesn’t treat them it just doesn’t aggravate them). The reason her going on about diet is harmful is because of what most people think of when they hear of bowel problems, people automatically jump to diets and suggest diets when really IBD is nothing to do with diet, it is not a food intolerance or allergy, it is an autoimmune condition that just happens to be in the bowel but because people hear bowel they jump to diet. People don’t suggest diets for other autoimmune conditions like diabetes, asthma, eczema, some arthritis, MS, etc, but because the bowel is involved everyone thinks of diet. This on its own might not seem harmful but it is the judgement that comes with it, people thinking you only have IBD because you have a bad diet or judging you for eating certain things when you have IBD or judging you and deciding that you aren’t trying to get better because you aren’t trying different diets or ones they suggested (their suggestions come from absolutely nowhere, they just heard a diet is healthy and think that is the answer). I looked up the doctor afterwards and it seemed she was not a practicing doctor anymore, instead she ran meditation and yoga classes that could apparently help treat autoimmune conditions (no evidence for this either). It is irresponsible for people like this to get put on TV shows since they really don’t know what they are talking about, on top of that they only get one doctor on so there is no one there to fact check it so the doctors can really say whatever they want. The programs main goal was to raise awareness and understanding but a lot of people would argue it did the opposite and just reinforced existing misconceptions by having a “doctor” repeat them and having a doctor prescribe diets to people with IBD rather than actual treatments.

[@seandobbins2231]

Unfortunately, in a country where it's still legal to commercially advertise medications, this sort of thing is similarly legal even though it shouldn't be. Healthcare should only be a public service, not a commercial enterprise, as when it's the latter people's lives are put at risk for money they're not only not getting any of, but literally paying themselves. And before anyone says "medicine is a profession too", many public services are professions so that's not an excuse and we don't need additional incentives to improve healthcare either because improved health is the best incentive, in fact the monetary incentive is what increases the risk of putting out unnecessary or lower quality medications so the monetary incentive actually harms quality of care.

I really appreciate that you speak up like this when needed. I once had a neurologist that INSISTED I take gabapentin for some congenital issues I have. I took it for a while, and I started making stupid mistakes at work, to the point where the manager, who had only been there a few months, told me, “I want you to know that if I didn’t know that you’d been a wonderful employee here for years, I would have fired you by now.” I later asked my husband if I had been different since starting the medication. His response? “Haven’t you noticed that your 4yo is finishing sentences for you?” Yup. Slowed mental function. I tried to talk about it with the doctor, and she said, “Gabapentin doesn’t cause that. You can take as much of it as you want and it won’t hurt you.” OK. If dosage doesn’t matter how is it helping? Water is harmful if you drink too much. I found a new neurologist, fast. I understand the importance of trusting a doctor, but to outright tell me I’m wrong about something I’m experiencing (which, btw, I found out later is on the list of side effects.)? Anyway, this is a long winded way of saying, thank you for providing educational information.
