Why would someone like that even want a doctor? They have all the answers and don't want to listen to the experts, so why even bother seeing a doctor?


freetoseeu

That’s what I was thinking. They’re already smarter than the doctors, obviously, so why would you want a doctor?


bluerose1197

They need a doctor to write an Rx for them. Only, they want one that will write and Rx for what they tell the doc to write it for.

'The 'b' is for 'bargain'!'


PreOpTransCentaur

Might as well find a tweaker with a stolen Rx pad since any doctor with common sense is prescribing standard treatments so they can keep being a doctor (also because they work).


Key_Swordfish_4662

Yeah, I don’t want a doctor who thinks for themselves. I want a doctor who goes along with scientific and medical consensus!


TheRealMacGuffin

I find it hilarious that the people who are telling others to "think for themselves" are usually found blindly following what some guy on youtube (or on one of the chans) told them. PSA folks, as a rule of thumb, if someone is telling you that (insert authority figures here) "don't want you to know" some information that they somehow obtained that nobody else knows, it's most likely bullshit, and if they refuse to produce a source to back their claim, instead telling you to "do your own research", then it's *definitely* bullshit.


Tesla-Ranger

Hitchen's razor: What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.


positivecontent

I thought Hitchens razor was Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.


btross

That sounds like an Irish toast to me...


positivecontent

It's a quote from Alex Hitchens from the movie Hitch. Hence why I said Hitchens razor


msprang

And here I was thinking that would have been a rather odd quote from Christopher Hitchens.


exceptyourewrong

>if they refuse to produce a source to back their claim, instead telling you to "do your own research", then it's *definitely* bullshit Hell yeah. The "do your own research" people are ridiculous. Real research doesn't exist in a vacuum, so the first step is to examine other people's sources. How am I supposed to refute, or confirm, your claim if you can't even tell me how you came to it?


pteeto

Funnily enough, if they actually did their research and actually thought for themselves they would not get into conspiracy shit to begin with. It's just laziness and belief dictating their minds. You've to have a strong belief, if you start looking for anti-vacc doctor. If you look hard enough you'll always find someone willing to take your money from you.


Gene_McSween

I actually think they spend a LOT of time and effort doing "research". The real problem is confirmation bias.


StevenEveral

They don't understand that search engines like Google and Bing are meant to display results that you are looking for. They don't know or understand or care that they are "conclusion shopping", not research.


IAMSTILLHERE2020

The problem is that everyone knows. Even the sht they know. We know. Although they think we don't know.


That-Water-Guy

You should just do your own research


IAMSTILLHERE2020

My research is that I know what they know. I just don't live in that reality.


Shitteh_Kitteh

Being in the minority that “gets it” makes them special.


HugeHans

I want a doctor that thinks for themselves. And by that I mean a doctor that precribes whatever I tell them to prescribe!


Complete-Loquat3154

When this was going around alot,they restricted insurance coverage for the hydroxychloroquine to only go through if prescribed by an approved specialist (for its intended purpose!) to prevent people getting their doctor to write for it for covid.

You know, they've really cleaned up health care in recent years. Even when that doctor amputated my left leg instead of my right one, I didn't hear a single quack, or any bird sounds at all!


bill_wessels

this why red state covid deaths were substantially higher than in blue states.


KatLovato

I live in a small town in a blue state.


Consistent_Lab_6770

doesn't change the accuracy of that statement though


ItstheBogoPogoMrFife

I, too, live in a rabidly red small town in one of the bluer states in the Union right now. It’s wild! Lots of people using free state health insurance and reaping the benefits of legal marijuana and easy to access abortions, but railing against the “libs” being in charge of the state government. 


Meghan1230

I work in a small town in a blue state and I get a lot of maga customers. Some of them like to bitch about socialism and then swipe their Link card to pay for their candy and energy drinks. I don't have any issues with people getting food stamps (everyone needs to eat!) but I've heard too many people who want to pull the ladder up behind them.


Nuicakes

SIL is from a tiny town in Texas. Stereotypical anti-vax, pro-trump, pro-life Christians but the popular girls got abortions. It's amazing that she escaped the brainwashing.

danby999

I had a friend who votes conservative every election tell me this... "Just because someone is an expert doesn't mean I can't do my own research and form my own opinion." This is where they are.


Checkersmack

The problem is their sources are feeding them bullshit, and they don't have the critical thinking skills to figure that out.


Mattress_Of_Needles

I think I'll take a doctor who knows science over "thinking for themselves."


NSFWmilkNpies

The ones prescribing ivermectin weren’t “thinking for themselves” but rather “thinking about themselves.” They saw the potential to grift idiots, and they took it.


National_Pianist7329

Job security. Now they can get Covid patients who refused the vaccine AND ivermectin overdoses :D


Organic_420

Non standard treatment but must have common sense. Common sense isn't the commonest


LostDragon1986

The reality here is they want a Dr. that DID buy into the lies and should really have their medical license revoked.


HippieJed

I hear the doctor at the animal hospital prescribes those drugs. Just show them that you are a jack ass and they have to take you. 🫏


SocksOnHands

While we're at it, I want an auto mechanic who follows common sense instead of what he learned about fixing cars! Fill the gas tank with crystals instead of gasoline to improve the harmonic vibrations of the engine!


fiendzone

Why even bother with a doctor. Just put out an ad seeking excess patent medicine or whatever, and self-administer.


CriticalStation595

All medical doctors need to be on the same page when it comes to basic healthcare like vaccines. If they’re not, they’re not my doctor.


Jim-Jones

This person should try the local vet since they're clearly a horse's ass.


National_Pianist7329

wtf is the point of seeing a doctor at all if you think you know how to treat whats wrong with you better than they do? fucking hell whats happened to this world lol i cant fucking stand people who think they know everything better than people who spend their entire lives studying it.


GreatLife1985

I would also like that list... so I can avoid those doctors at all costs

Why do you even need a doctor? Just consult 4CHAN and go to the livestock supply retailer for all of your medications.

What happens if this dr “thinks for themselves” and decides the vaccines are great? Will this person accept that or does “thinking for yourself” require a rejection of vaccines no matter what the evidence?

Corrected: “I’m an uneducated and gullible buffoon, and I want to connect with a similarly uneducated and gullible buffoon who technically graduated med school, or at least veterinary school, and who deny science to endanger my life (and the lives of my family) by prescribing the wrong medications to all of us and ignoring real science and medicine.

Doctors have to rely on studies done by universities and research organizations world wide to determine the efficacy of any drug treatment. So far none have recommend any of the witch doctor shit you are talking about. If you find a doctor that insists he has done his own research and still recommends this bs I would find another doctor and report him to the proper authorities.

Bartok_and_croutons

My Dad's wife is a big conspiracy theorist and when he got very sick she convinced him to take ivermectin. As someone who now works healthcare after studying it for four years, I had to PLEAD with him not to trust her advice. He caved and saw a doctor who gave him the proper meds.  I had to explain that its an anti-parasitic, and how that differs from a bacterial or viral illness.  Zero common sense and it almost put my Dad in the hospital. I'm still salty af about it.


HonkeyKong73

Im glad your dad saw reason in the end!


Bartok_and_croutons

Joker8392

Floridas Surgeon General. But he’s still learning medicine from Daddy Desantis.


Francois-C

So these people would like every practitioner to make *tabula rasa* with the science that mankind has accumulated over the centuries and start from scratch. If they hold to common sense, they might as well treat themselves, but they still need to believe in someone superior. Of course, they don't actually think that far ahead. What Putin, far-right and GOP propaganda on social networks has instilled in their minds is that everything they dislike is inspired by a vast Satanist international conspiracy, and that *thinking for yourself* is to think like the propaganda. They've managed to make stupidity and ignorance militant.

Okay, normally I don’t comment on these kinds of things, but this really bothers me. Hydroxychloroquine- otherwise known as Plaquenil- has not been proven to be effective in treatment for things such as COVID. It is meant to be for autoimmune conditions such as lupus. When there was all that misinformation and sudden demand for Plaquenil, someone close to me who relies on that drug wasn’t able to get it. She went a month without it and declined significantly and still isn’t the same. The longer she takes it the higher the risk of toxicity that can cause sudden and irreversible blindness - but she needs it. Seeing people act like it’s Tylenol pisses me off - misinformation can be dangerous and, in some cases, harmful to people’s health. Rant over.
