Yep. Rank and file MDs don’t provide a whole lot of value except to people who are totally ignorant of common illnesses, health issues, or injuries. If I had the ability to order my own tests, blood work, and adjust the dosages of my meds I could do it a hell of a lot better than the doctor I see every 6-12 months. Antibiotics are the some of the worst with this. The doc literally doesn’t even look at me, I just describe my symptoms and they go “yep sounds like an infection” — like Gods almighty you could be a web form. And it would would actually cost my insurance less which is even more infuriating. Specialists I have found are actually useful and so I can’t really bring myself to hate that Tier 1 MDs act as a screen for people whose time is valuable. |

Hundreds of thousands, no, potentially millions of people have decided to take hydrochloroquine and ivermectin as a treatment for Covid. The people who believe that they're in a position to dictate their own medical treatment are the ones who most often are "totally ignorant".
Yes, it's more expensive in isolation - in the best case scenario - to have someone competent see a doctor for a refill. But it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the rare case of someone saying "I have self-diagnosed as needing hydrochloroquine for my Covid" and then dying from an overdose after they passed out and their family took them to an expensive emergency room. Your experience is not universal.
