I agree with you a lot, but it basically boils down to 3 things:

1) people don't know the answer. Rather than sound stupid replying to a question that they didn't know, they say "go to the doctor" for everything as a kind of mental "yes, I'm smart, I can spell the word doctor" kinda thing.

2) people are afraid of legal liability: a lot of people (myself included) who know a lot about various conditions but are not licensed doctors are afraid to give out advice without including a disclaimer of some sort. Basically it says "this is what I think BUT in case I'm wrong, don't say I told you it's the absolute truth, because I told you to check with a pro".

3) people who are afraid of moral liability: face it, if you gave someone advice, and it was wrong, and they got either more sick or possibly died, you'd feel like crap. It's an easy way to make yourself think you did something good, when in fact you just did nothing.

yeah thats a great question. thanks for the input

well said

well, Mr. Bush, apparently these people live in countries that have free health care
here in America you may not even get treated if your wang falls off -

Litigation,if a person who has suffered the extreme agony of a stubbed toe,can prove that their future as a top dancer has been terminated,due to the fear of an accident that may again happen,then their chances of becoming a multi millionaire increases ten fold.

eat & do exercises properly.

The usual question is, why is this happening, what's wrong? And for that, only a personal inspection by a health professional can make an accurate diagnosis. Everything else is just guess work by amateurs, based on limited information (and patients notoriously leave out critical information)

Some conditions are harmless and self-correcting, and others are life-threatening. If a problem is interfering with everyday activities or doesn't seem to clear up by itself, then it's time to get expert help.

In any case, you don't have to make an appointment to see an expensive Beverly Hills specialist for a sore shoulder that never goes away. Most cities have walk-in clinics or urgent care centers where you can see a nurse for a reasonable fee.

not sure what the question is
