OT: Do you think medical science is valid, or do you consult YouTube for medical advice?

Standard doctors are probably your safest all around bet as a general rule. but I don't trust them TOO much either.
but with that said... I am not a person who's a fan of prescription drugs etc as I think those are best off being avoided unless absolutely necessary as the way I see it some people take one for something and then need another to compensate for the side effects etc and before you know it, your taking a boatload of meds which can't be good for your overall health in the long term.
so as a general rule... the less meds the better as any doctor who does not agree with that general mindset, I simply would not trust, as they are probably more concerned with their $ than the patients health. side note: I am not sure how true it is but I have heard doctors get more $ for prescribing drugs, which if true, is a conflict of interest and makes one trust a doctor that much less right off the start.
also, I, like many others out there, are not a big fan of big pharma as they are motivated by $$$ more than a persons health. hell, you can almost tell their general standards are getting lower as some stuff they advertise on TV even admits it can cause cancer and other serious side effects. like some meds etc advertised on TV... the problem it's attempting to fix is not enough to risk the side effects of some of that crap. or put it this way... I am not a person who would put a whole lot of trust in the average doctor, especially for non-life threatening things.
I tend to avoid going to the doctors in general like I suspect most of us guys do. but thankfully I have had generally good overall health even though I realize that can't last forever but I suspect I should be okay for at least another decade or so.
p.s. for the record... I am not on any meds as I value my health. but back in the day, say my teens, I was briefly on some and they seemed to do more harm than good and that was the end of that BS.
