Heh. Well, at least my doctor respects my opinions and intelligence. I have had to "teach" him a few things in the past few years.
Example: One checkup about 2 years ago my liver enzymes were through the roof, and he referred me to get a ultrasound of my liver. It showed minimal amounts of fatty tissue but nothing extraordinary to be worried about. I did some quick research and found that extreme physical workouts or tasks simply cause the muscles to extrude lactic acid and other materials that end up in the liver to be excreted as waste. My liver was simply doing its job of cleansing my blood of lactic acid and other materials.
The day before my blood test I had been lifting some serious weights and did some running at my gym, so my research turned up several PubMed studies, white papers, and articles showing that strenuous workouts can cause a "false positive" for liver enzymes. A sports doctor would have known that, but my doctor is a general practitioner and did NOT know that.
Anyway, the next checkup I had I went 2 days without working out and the liver enzymes were back in the low-normal range. He said he didn't understand how that could happen, so I pulled out several printed articles (from PubMed, no less) that showed him how it was possible.
I told him I workout on the main weight room floor with the big guys, despite my age. After a workout at the gym, I usually go home and rest a bit and hit the shower. When I first told him years ago that I am a gym rat, given my age he probably thought I was curling 8 pounds and bench-pressing 20 pounds like old geezers do.... NOPE! I hit it hard and pay for it the next day with muscle aches, which I can deal with by using powdered aspirin, arthritis strength at 1,000mg.
I think my doctor now has more respect for my opinion and lets me know that I am in charge of my own health and must make decisions on my own about vaccines, prescriptions, etc. So when I told him I was DONE with vaccines, he just said, "OK, I understand." I think he's onto the stupid, criminal aspect of the covid jabs, but he can't afford to say so, since he's part of a larger corporate medical group.
I see a GP but she does listen and she is thankful when I show her research. She believes in alternative medicine and never stopped me when I tell her what I am taking.
I believe the practice forced them in taking the vax because when we first talked about it she agreed with a lot of it.
A year after she took it she said to me and I quote "Fauci needs to hang from a tree".
I was there last week for my annual physical. I figured I would test her. I asked her to prescribe Ivermectin so I could have it on hand. Nothing was said and she filled it.
Now the insurance was another thing the pharmacy said they were waiting on an approval. I said screw them I will pay cash. He laughed and filled the prescription.
Tennessee is still open for business. We're getting a LOT of conservative northerners moving here to escape their blue state hellholes. By the way, in Tennessee you can walk into a pharmacy and buy Ivermectin over the counter. I can point to some local pharmacies that sell it.
They don't even ask me anymore.
Same with cholesterol medicine.
She just says yeah I know you won't take anything as I handed her four articles on the subject.

Good talking to you hope to see you soon.

I know you told me and I purchased some.
Thanks.
