I’m an OB/ Gyn in Mississippi and also practice a holistic approach with using natural remedies , and why o love this doc so much and many others like him on here , but I will tell you , it’s the patients . It’s the apathy . I can talk all day long , send links , articles , show graphs and at the end of the day , the patient is the one who wants a pill or a shot . They don’t want to be uncomfortable … at all . I can’t tell you how many times I tell parents over and over about how ozempic ( et al ) is a poor weight plan if they don’t build muscle and increase protein and decrease processed foods . They don’t care to exercise. They want a shot . A shirt time . So , if you paid me by results and not by effort ( I also don’t hardly prescribe antidepressants and try therapy , exercise , B vitamins , vit D , etc ) and hardly write the newest of anything , I would go broke with this population. When you are loading up the 17th med on a 35 year old on the Epic system , and you look at them and say … “ I could help you get off a lot of these if we could do these things “ ….and they just want you to refill ……I have to say , it’s a soul crusher these days .
