I think we may all have come to the conclusion that for the most part doctors are no longer able to prevent health issues nor help you maintain your health. They are, however able to prescribe a pill to take care of any "issue" you may feel you have.
Or maybe doctors are just tired of telling patients what they have to do to maintain a healthy lifestyle only to be told by those patients that they are.
Nothing like watching a morbidly obese person tell you they eat no more then the average person. Most of the general public believe that it's alright to have a pop a day. "A" pop might be a 2tlr bottle or it may be 250ml can. Eating fast food as a meal a couple times a week, sitting in front of the telly for 4 hrs a night after having spent 8 hrs behind a desk and 2 hrs sitting in a car. Why work hard for good health when we work so hard to do as little as possible and can take a pill instead?
geez, that's depressingly accurate
it hit me meh, maybe a decade or more ago lying in emerg on a bed waiting for help, that attempting to make the right health choices only because I was interested in medicine had done me a vast amount of good over the years...and I was grateful to be in Canada and grateful for a nurse in a tiny community where I'd had the car accident, that she had triaged in Toronto, had seen much and was telling me, eh you're likely fine, you're in good health, you aren't over-weight so your body will heal fast
genetically of course it's a cr*p shoot but we have to work with what we've got
I think a huge factor is the people we surround ourselves with
huge influence
