At a high level, I agree. My take is that for things like broken bones, and other accute trauma, doctors are great. For everything else, especially anything chronic, and they are completely worthless.

Any good doctor will advise you to get plenty of exercise and eat a health diet. That's easily the best thing you can do for your health.

Only the vast majority of people ignore that advise.

Also the combination of vaccinations and nutrient-fortified food have worked wonders for public health.

You can get the same advice from a crossfit website. Doctors aren’t the ones fortifying food and nurses seem perfectly capable of administering a vaccine.
