35 Medical Facts That Doctors Wish You'd Know I may be alone in this, but I want my patients to know that there is no possible way I can keep up with all the medical advances and new studies that are out there. And I also want them to know that there are thousands of conditions that I learned about in medical school that I've forgotten because I've never seen or recognized them in practice.

This is important, because my patients frequently apologize for looking up things on the internet. No, don't apologize. I want you to research your condition. I want you to look things up. I want you to know about new treatments, new research, and alternative medications. Because often I don't. I may not agree with the things you've read, and that's fine too. Ask me about thinks you've read and the picture you found that looks like your rash. I can't tell you how many times a patient has come to me with a suggestion about a possible explanation for symptoms because they read about it on the internet that turned out to be a correct or at least reasonable guess. Please educate yourselves about yourselves.

Some good websites are the CDC website and AAFP.org (the American Academy of Family Practice). And if your doctor is offended that you're trying to be educated, get a different doctor.

Finally! I love this doctor! Most GPs don't have training enough about many diseases and often ignore them or give even damaging advice. But they often are too arrogant to admit that they dont know. I was 10y with textbook endometriosis symptoms without a diagnosis because nobody bothered to listen to me or do any effort. A quick 5m research would have suggested that disease. But why bother trying to heal your patients?

35 Medical Facts That Doctors Wish You'd Know Vaccines are the greatest advancement in modern medicine. They save lives and prevent weeks of lost work each year (flu season). If people started seeing more pertussis (whooping cough) or epiglottitis (part of the throat swells up and can kill children) they'd get their shots, but vaccines have become victims of their own success. Get your shots to protect immunodeficient people that can't get their shots.

tl;dr If you don't get vaccinated and you don't vaccinate your kids then you are an a-hole.

As one comedian put it. "Imagine that you went to some lake for vacation. The guy at the camp front desk told you to use strong repelent, because they have mosquitos there and advised you to buy that repelent at local kiosk (I don't know if it is common everywhere, but where I live there is always some kiosk in camp where you can buy some candy, repelents, beer, postcards, sunscreen, snacks and so). You bought two bottles and put it on every day. After two weeks when you haven't seen a single mosquito you are pissed, because this guy at front desk scammed you, he was definitelly on it with the guy in kiosk, who sold you this repelent for double or triple price. And because you are pissed off, you will not put on the repelent for the last evening/night. Congratulations, you will go home with a lot of nice, red dots and you may scratch them for next week."

A very realistic scenario; therefore, realize that there most likely will be mosquitoes at the lake and bring your own repellent but..... before you buy it check the ingredients and do the research. There are also natural insect repellents available.

There are many drugs which were approved by FDA and they caused serious side effects and deaths. It is not because of medical doctors and scientists who evaluate the drugs, it's because of their bosses who dismiss their findings, and put the drugs on the market. Why would they do that? Corruption!! Bribery!! Greed!!! FYI: Numerous doctors agree that vivisection retards scientific progress because animal models are unlike naturally occurring human diseases or injuries .......many of which could be prevented by life sustaining, disease fighting foods containing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals found only in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and WHOLE grains - WITHOUT all the chronic, painful inflammations and diseases causing animal proteins and cholesterol.

You don't seem to understand how vaccines work. They actually use your own immune system, they're not a substitute for it, they just get your immune system to use its strength against the disease *before* you get sick, so you don't have to go through a deadly disease to come out immune if you survive! Remember, before there were viruses, all human had were their own strong natural immune systems, and they died of epidemic disease by the millions.

In your life, your body will autonomously eradicate between 6-10 cancers without your realising.

All it requests in return is a little bit of health to preserve it. Stop smoking, lose weight. Maybe exercise a little. Don't drink so much. Your diet is so much more important that you realise.

When I was 13 I had already been confirmed to having a ovarian cyst, and it made it very painful for me during my periods to the point where I had passed out from the pain of it once. However at one point it felt much worse then it typically did and I blew it off as being because of my period.

It turned out my appendix was bursting.

Do not punch a wall/car door/guy in the face/brick, etc. You will end up with a "boxer's fracture," or a break of your fifth metacarpal bone. Most of the time everyone will know you were drunk when it happened and it's not comfortable or fun.

Do not attempt to fix your chain-driven garage door opener by putting your fingers in the track and asking your wife to "hit the button."

Do not hold onto something at work that winches rope.

35 Medical Facts That Doctors Wish You'd Know Doctor here. Don't stop your medications by yourself. Just don't, no matter how good you feel. Patients stop antibiotics and relapse. So many resistant TB cases here. Stop taking insulin and come with DKA. Stop taking anti-hypertensives and get a stroke. Don't stop any drug unless cleared prior with your doctor. Most of the diseases can only be managed, they can't really be cured. If you have diabetes, get sugar levels tested at least once a month. Don't ignore it. Don't mix alcohol and anti-depressants. Also, no matter how bad it is, we have seen worse. Don't be ashamed. Pull out doesn't mean she won't get pregnant. Precum has sperm too. Last, if you see anyone vomiting and loss conscious, turn them to their side. Less chances of it entering lungs.

35 Medical Facts That Doctors Wish You'd Know Clinical Psychologist here... if you need mental health treatment, try your local college campuses. Oftentimes there are training clinics, supervised by some of the best clinicians around. Most will provide a generous sliding fee scale. Treatment works, especially for sleep problems, depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc.

Also- do NOT ignore mental health problems in your children or adolescents- including when you are concerned about substance use. Early intervention works best and if you wait until they are 18, they may not get treatment for another decade because they refuse to go in (until they mature in their late 20's). So if your child or adolescent is showing signs of a mood or anxiety disorder, cutting, struggling with ADHD, and is using drugs regularly (weekly or more) and you are concerned- consider an intake assessment with a licensed psychologist.

Many physicians do not resist centralized national health, but the way it's been attempted, that is, without practicing doctors getting much say in what they see every day and find to be important.

Alas, we're stuck by malpractice law, utility bills, and restrictions by the "care system" that bought the practice . (Note: Not practicing MD< but say "we" b/c we all discuss this a lot ---- docs, nurses, etc.) And, yes, big pharma hands out meds like candy but for some docs in rural areas, the only way their patients get those meds? Is from the handouts from big pharma as samples. I've known docs who kept people alive on those samples until their health insurance kicked in to pay for the stuff.
