Do you think Doctors lie?

[Blockfolioz]

Money makes anything happen, whether it is doctor, engineer whoever might be it doesn't have any exceptions. Op has stated one of the incident that occurred with him. There were lots and lots of similar incidents happen around the world.

[Actor_Tom_Truong_]

All doctors are for-profit sole proprietors.

[xxkaiwaxx]

Most doctors don't lie.

Is more that most doctors don't research beyond whats in their text books.

They just parrot what the Establishment spoon feeds them.

That's why Illnesses are never cured anymore. Only symptoms are treated.

Theres no money in cures.

Most doctors don't lie.

Really mate? Doctors are also people with a profession and could trick you using it. I still remember a piece of news about a doctor who lies about his customers having cancers. This is a very heartbreaking story. The doctor is diagnosing his customer wrong to have patients paying him. After diagnosing them wrong, he insists to ask for money for surgeries lying about stones or tumors within the patient's body. Because of panic, the people will pay as much as possible for their tumor to be removed.

Imagine if you were the person who was diagnosed wrong? Anxious about your health and where to find money to pay your bills? This is very disappointing and very heartbreaking. Doctors may lie, doctors can make mistakes as well and some really do stupid things for their patients. (Aside from good doctors and doing their job accordingly)

I always believed that doctors are very professional who have been following and true to their oath.

[xvids]

Yeah maybe they do for other people,
For example those who are scared,
The most famous lie of a doctor is when they are going to inject something to you,
They would say that it wouldn't hurt.

If a doctor working for Blue Cross can shoot up 200 kiddies they can earn themselves and extra $80,000 in bonuses according to this:

Here is a simpler question...

Are doctors human? Yes? Do humans lie? Yes. There is your answer. However that doesn't mean his advice is bad... smoking isn't good for you, and just because he is also addicted doesn't mean his advice is invalid. I would suggest you try to improve your health in the ways he suggested as much as you can manage without living in misery. I would make the goal to be constantly improving in that area rather than just meeting all of his instructions to the letter. If it is absolutely critical you do something they will make it clear. His job is to tell you how to get healthy, its not his job to tell you how to control yourself.

I agree to this we have heard doctors getting a heart attack or die from smoking but that does not mean they have lost their reputation it's just that they lost their control or moderation, but what they are and what they learn and expertise is still there they will tell you about your sickness and how to avoid because they are educated to do that, but it's up to you to implement this.

[Chikitita2004]

Of course they do. Just like us they also have weaknesses and problems. Problem about smoking is not an easy problem to be solved in a week or two. So if they would want to stop it for their own good it would not be easy for them to stop so easily. Doctors and nutritionist would tell you o not eat this and this for it will be bad for your health and they will give  list of food you are not going to eat, I wonder if they themselves don't eat those as well, and if not what would be left for them to eat since almost everything is unhealthy as they say.

Everyone has habits it could be bad habits or good habits and also could be a lier. But this is very bad if any doctor tells a lie for any treatment. A lie could be fall in danger for a patient. So, Doctor should be a truthful every time for the treatment.

[zhekinsp]

Doctors are also just like us,they can do bad things they can lie and they also will get addicted.So you knkw what is good for you and bad for you but you still choose some bad to make you happier,so this hapoens with everyone.

[Annalise24]

I believe you are aware that doctors are human beings just like you and me.
They are simply doing their job by telling us to avoid the consumption of some things ad s it coube detrimental to our health.
It's their right not to want to avoid those things they asked us not to take.
Personally, I fo not think it's lying.

[omonuyak]

Recently i went to the hospital to check see the doctor and i was told the doctor to attend to me will be back soon, while waiting, he came in and from the look of things he had gone to smoke, it got me thinking, can it be that they are telling us not to do this and that and if you follow them you wont eat anything because everything is bad to health, no drinking of alcohol, smoking of any kind and the list is endless, why would a doctor now turned around and go smoking?

I do believe that sickness is the state of mind than the state of the body.  If you look at the advice we get from the medical experts it is very clear that most of them were just to work on our mind and if all those do not are really truth many people could have died by now including the said doctors.

[Ailmand]

Of course they do everyone tell lie's even professional people lie.
It doesn't matter if their a Doctor or whatever they are still human.
And I think there are times that they couldn't tell the truth so they need to lie.

[zhekinsp]

Of course they do everyone tell lie's even professional people lie.

And I think there are times that they couldn't tell the truth so they need to lie.

And we also need to remember that health care is one of the biggest successful business so they want to spread lie about something to make people ill then they will find the way to cure but selling for the high prices.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I can only say that you always have to seek a second opinion when it comes to doctors, they are human, they can make mistakes.

I do not blame the doctor for having smoked, perhaps the pressure they have every day, it is relieved by smoking and, although it is not advisable, many doctors have a great conscience about health and are examples of successful people.

Some do not drink liquor, do sports and lead a healthy life, maybe, you have to discover them, in medicine there are always that kind of professionals.

[BADecker]

Doctors are smart people. They have gone through lots of schooling. Yet most of them prescribe drugs. But good drugs, like CBD and MMS are ignored. So, are they smart? YES! And this means that they lie.

[gabmen]

It's going to be very hard to believe that they don't. Either to ease the pain of the patient or the patient's family, or simply for profit. I mean, i don't think they take it as a responsibility in their profession to tell the truth all the time. There are a whole lot of greedy doctors as there are lawyers, engineers, managers etc.

[eann014]

It is becoming the norm in my countries(Indonesia) to doesn't trust blindly a doctor except that is a very trustable doctor. It is advisable to consult another doctor to seek a second opinion to make a conclusion for us. I heard a story from a patient that stick with one doctor for his illness, he keeps using a prescription given by the doctor, but without any significant result obtained. He started to seek to another doctor then follow the prescription given, and surprisingly the sickness is getting away significantly.

Not just a second but even a third opinion. Especially if the first doctor is recommending a something invasive. There have been cases of people getting unnecessary operations and just getting worse. Doctors are human after all and can make a wrong diagnosis.

Sometimes it is also not the doctor's fault why some people are looking for a 2nd or 3rd opinion, i experience before that the test result of my son has a problem. Doctor worries at the result of my son's diagnosis that's why the doctor wants to confine my son but I choose to go to another hospital to have our 2nd and also a 3rd opinion. Even 4th opinion. The 4th opinion doesn't need to confine, medications will do that's why I also learned that when it comes in a hospital, don't go to a not trusted one. Go to a hospital that even it is more expensive their test result was always accurate.

[Xenrise]

They are sometimes lying to us. But, it's for our own good. An example of their lie is this, a man doesn't have a cure for his illness. That's why the doctor decided to try psychology with the patient. The doctor will give the patient a medicine that will not cure him but psychologically speaking, the medicine is curing him.
