@b6hydra Sure.. gluten sensativity doesnt exist and is made up so people can think that their shitty diet and lack of exercise isnt the cause of their problems. On the other hand Celiac Disease is real :)

@b6hydra I dont really mind people self-diagnosing honestly... like if they said "I have severe ciliacs disease. I never saw a doctor but when I eat glueten I break out in rashes and have explosive diarrhea" if be like "ok cool!"...

But no its usually like "For some reason every time I eat a half a cake for lunch I feel a bit bloated and tired, clearly I am gluten sensitive!"

@b6hydra I can understand that. But my faith in doctors is kinda 0 anyway. I feel like most people probably have a better chance of self-diagnosing than a doctor does for most issues.

@b6hydra I mostly just find doctors really uneducated. I have often seen a doctor and told them my symptoms and they go "I dunno".. then go home, do 5 minutes of research and have a good idea what I have. I then have went back, got tested, and proven to be right.

Not sure why me with no degree in medicine can trivially diagnose all my diseases when not a single doctor ever seems to diagnose much more than a cold.

@b6hydra The only good experiences I had were largely from nurses. Sometimes doctors or nurses cared, but never once did they provide me with any incite I didnt already bring to the table sadly.

Either I have better medical knowledge or have had worse experience with doctors, I cant say.

@b6hydra ive had some quite awful trauma at the hands of doctors at various points, most recently with my back injury, that would make me rather bias against them. Though if im bias for the very reasons we are arguing about is it even bias in the context?
