You should read this, stat. The answer to your questions is common knowledge. When the answers to these questions are easily and readily available, the idea that you would ask this collection is retards is indicative of a larger problem.

Its an interesting problem and I actually agree with it.
The larger issue is that "expertise" has fallen on its face too often. The modern medical system has its foundations in crockery and has gone out of its way to convince women that they can't give birth on their own, which is nonsense.
Everyone favorite example is expert advice on whether it is healthy to eat eggs or not.
And most recently about wearing masks or not.
So if this book doesn't start out by saying "expertise shot itself in the fucking head" then I don't know what to say.
Or maybe it will say "Traditional knowledge was systematically destroyed by colonizers / invading forces since well before the time of the romans..." the end.
Lol
I think the medical advancements we have today are 1: vaccines and 2: anti biotics and 3: better surgery
All the day to day care and normal life health stuff is substantially worse.
OH maybe it will start off by saying
"Expertise died when it sold out, big Pharma spends 19x more on advertisements than on research"
Tough to say where they will start with "expertise" since in america its been a pretty short fucking run we were giving lobotomies and electro shock therapy in the 70's probably as late a the 80's and that is well after the early 1900's kellog's health care center crockery days but I'm not even going to wikipedia search that for this messageboard post. Those experts man I really wish we would all remember that we need to listen to them. LOL!
The sad fact is that all of our institutions are weakening, to our demise. In large part because of the selfishness of the organizations and structures behind them. We would love to trust doctors and nurses but their job in a hospital is to enact hospital policy who's primary guidance is reduction of liability which is not always in line with our primary goal which is our health. This is just one example. In a society where richness = goodness nothing matters but getting rich. In a society where LAW is equated with MORALITY it has the same negative impact. Being on the right side of the law does not mean you are on the side of good. Our institutions have sold both themselves and everyone else short by their selfishness and shortsightedness.
