Are you serious? The post is about doctors who don’t know their jobs.

I even said in my comment that they might have to double check things, but often don’t have the sense to be subtle about it.

I’m not expecting to walk up to a stranger in the street and have them know the details of my illness, I’m talking about a trained professional who is about to give me advice or medication that could kill me if they get it wrong. They should at least know the basics, and certainly shouldn’t just sit there with a blank look on their face.

Read my other comments on this post. I’ve had a GP as my wife what to do because he hadn’t kept up with his work, while my dentists knew about my illness and made sure that they were taking any precautions that they needed to.

  1. Be excellent to each other
  2. Absolutely no ableism, although good faith questions that take an ableist stance will be left up pending moderator discretion.
  3. No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
