The guy coming in with the boxing gloves and robe may have been the lamest thing I've ever seen. https://x.com/PokerNews/status/1942361809865814438

You say you're posting in good faith but when you post a single, selective study that fits neatly with your stance from the other thread, it’s hard not to see it as reinforcing a narrative.

Study design matters but it still feels like you’re using one narrow example to push a broader point.

Fair point about outpatient versus hospitalization but at the end of the day all three studies focus on patient satisfaction. To me it seems like you’re choosing to highlight one narrow, selective study because it backs up your narrative from the other thread.

Here's a study that says patient satisfaction is associated with lower mortality rates in heart patients. Another that says hospitals with higher patient satisfaction had significantly lower mortality rates.

The idea of a doctor truly embracing a collaborative, question-friendly approach sounds great in theory but in my experience that isn't always how it is. There have been times where I've felt dismissed (mentioned above), rushed or subtly discouraged from asking questions or pushing back at all...

If we’re talking about someone who watches Alex Jones all day and refuses antibiotics because they’re taking Infowars iodine supplements, I get it. That’s like telling a mechanic not to use motor oil because a YouTube video said prune juice works better. Totally nuts. Same with parents who skip...

What bothered me was the admitted bias against patients simply for mentioning they did their own research (or for any reason) which does not seem professional or supportive of quality patient care. Dr. T also said he supports shared decision making which to me kind of contradicts his earlier...

You're a doctor. And was it really a decision?

So to be clear you’re okay with patients who “do their own research” to better understand an illness/diagnosis/treatment options? It’s only when they disagree with your advice that you might feel biased against them?

What if pilots were trained by airlines that made more profit every time they flew riskier routes?

Feels like semantics to me.

You said that if a patient tells you they’ve done research it may bias you against them. That may not be claiming omniscience, but it does suggest that you see their perspective as not worth considering.
