I hope and wish this will become more true more broadly as time goes on.

A lot of medicine is a scam, but largely because people believe they are entitled to care at any cost as long as someone else is paying.

And most scammy care providers will go many years telling everyone they’re fine if they’re under age 50 and massively over testing everyone else and never be “wrong.”

Real medicine is about being right when it matters and not taking action when you can’t help. It’s 2% the former and 98% the latter. I’d argue it’s the 2% that really qualifies as medicine; the other 98% is nonsense, much of which unjustly creates an income stream for healthcare providers by placing certain medications behind a prescription paywall.
