Yep. It sounds like human nature across all domains. That is why I am increasingly wary about spending much time in a hospital, unless it is to visit someone.

My grandmother lived to 99. Same thing. She NEVER went to the doctor. Hated hospitals, though she volunteered in one. She believed in taking the stairs, not the elevator. And she laid on her back on her bedroom floor and bicycled her legs in the air every morning for ten minutes. She ate everything. DidnтАЩt overeat and didnтАЩt drink. She wasnтАЩt a talker, but when she spoke, she spoke her mind.
She sounds like my granddad's sister from another mister! He didn't drink, either (got all his ya-yas out as a young man and then never touched the stuff), was deeply devoted to God, a voracious reader, ate whatever he pleased in moderation, did hard physical work for much of his life (was still climbing trees and putting a roof on his house in his 90s), kept his own bees and a garden, lived in the mountains with clean air and spring water, and most important (I think), like your grandmother, never hesitated to speak his mind! ЁЯШВ He did not suffer fools, so I'm pretty sure his head would've exploded if he'd lived long enough to see this... he got out just in the nick of time.
I only go when all my own methods fail, that is maybe 3 or 4 times in 10 years. Doc told me I am now of an age that I should come in every year. I told him I stay away from him if not necessary, and he answered, yes, I know, doctors can kill you. I think doctors and hospitals are the third killer in the US. And that is from what we know.
Ugh! It had never occurred to me before, but my eyes are wide open now, that medicine is just another corrupt, industrial complex, where the original purpose has been subsumed to greed & big business.
I am glad to know it now, but itтАЩs still shocking to me
It's sad, too. Way back, you needed the doctor to help set broken limbs, suture gaping wounds, and remove bullets. (Probably have watched too many Westerns.) ЁЯШХ
Bandit, my grandfather, father & uncle were physicians, back when they were independent & did those things & for the right reasons. We kids practically had to be on our death beds to get an aspirin, much less any other meds, when I was growing up. IтАЩve seen it all, & thatтАЩs how much it has changed.

stay the hell away from all things doctor and hospital. they probably will kill you. Last time I saw the doc he told me so himself.
My granddad lived to 106, sharp as a tack 'til the end. His secret? "Eat honey every day and stay away from doctors."

Incredible. They donтАЩt make тАШem mike that anymore. I really miss that generation.
Me, too.
Yep. Me, too. ЁЯШв
My long-time doc told me in 2021 that I should take the jab (which I declined), so about the same as killing patients.
My doc is a would be killer/pill pusher.

There's nothing better than an independent doctor!
Where do we find one!
I think functional doctors are all independent, they don't take insurance. --- Other than them, if I find one, I'll let ya know.
