RE: Magical realism: Day 482: 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday

These days, most Western Doctors are glorified plumbers... lacking in the imagination and scientific curiosity that would have them regarding each patient as more than a "paint by numbers" or "fill in the blanks" or check this, that, and the other procedure off the list... I used to trust doctors. Now I don't even trust naturopaths. Even they sell overpriced, unregulated supplements while accusing big Pharma of pushing Rx for profit. All those expensive bottles of pills at the chiropractor and holistic doctor's office just don't earn my confidence. What is left? Diet and exercise and searching for medical practitioners who know what they're doing... good luck @tristancarax!

We definitely have to watch out for charlatans.

My distrust comes from the experience my mother had/has with them. This and that pill to fix this and that, which fuck up all these other things in the body. They'll have us not paying attention to these facts once they have you hooked.
