I noticed long ago that doctors in the US are not interested in finding the root cause of an illness and curing the patient - they simply identify the illness and prescribe a drug to lessen the symptoms.
Curing patients would negatively impact their profits. Now, as much as possible, I research my own treatments and/or cures. I don't bother going to my doctor much at all anymore.

That can be a good thing if you are doing the research yourself, but many have lost confidence in the medical community to the point that they are not getting the care they need, or are delaying receiving that care until it's too late. Many are dying because of how the doctor has irresponsibly dealt with this Covid crap.
But I know what you mean about Doctors just wanting to lessen the symptoms with a drug.
Doctors no longer have any clinical skills. They don't know how to doctor anyone.
When I grew up, we lived across the street from the only doctor in town, but was a great doctor. He would put the stethoscope on your body and have you breath in and out deeply. He would put his finger on you and tap them to hear the sound coming back from inside you body, he was a real doctor.
Talk to doctors trained in the 80's and 90's, they will tell you they were trained to make the patient as pain-free as possible. Thus, their training focused on alleviating symptoms, which included using pain killers. Many have been on tv talking about this 'school of thought' and how this/they inadvertently enabled the opioid crisis that is continuing today. They were told by the pill manufacturers that the synthetic pain killers were 'non-addictive' and so the doctors 'handed them out like candy', according to one interview I saw.

This completely. Be in charge and responsible for yourself. Doctors are only useful in an emergency but not maintenance.
