It is your doctor's duty to inform you of the best and most affective medical advice. It is absolutely your choice to follow their advice or not and accept the probability of an unnecessary and painful death or total disability due to your stubborn ignorance.

@FrostyJim My stubborn ignorance as you call it goes to this doctor to be able to continue getting my needed prescriptions filled.

@FrostyJim Many older doctors haven’t read a medical journal in years. You place far too much faith in them…..

@Buck - how many have you read ever? Or any of the internet health Gurus? It is also your choice to request another trained health professional opinion if you are not confident with your current doctor.

@FrostyJim I read them frequently actually, and I’m not a doctor. No point in getting your panties in a bunch and acting like an ass, because I pointed out that doctors are human, fallible, and yes, ignorant in many cases!?

@Buck - let's just say that I am highly skeptical of your claim... but then I will get a second opinion due to my lack of confidence in your training.

@FrostyJim Be as skeptical as you wish. I regularly educate my physicians on the latest research before any treatments are given the green light. You clearly prefer to be ignorant about your care and latest treatment options, and you’re certainly welcome to take that approach.
FYI, this reply is even stupider than your last…..‍

@FrostyJim One more ignorant reply from you, and you get recycled. I don’t waste time conversing with ignorant fools…..
