The modern American medical system is definitely rife with bullshit. I avoid getting most regular medical care anymore after having so many doctors put me on medication that did not solve anything and created additional problems for no reason. I still get vaccinations and would trust getting urgent/emergency care for specific issues. But other than that doctors seem to just want to treat patients as cash cows and nothing else

My grandpa, who is in his mid 90s, quit taking all of his medication years ago. You would think a 90 year olds medication would be pretty critical, and that him not taking any of it would be concerning to the doctors. Every time he gets a checkup now they just tell him he is doing great. Basically the same thing that happened to me after quitting taking the multitude of prescriptions they had me loaded up with once upon a time, except I was practically a kid and not elderly
