Do you think Doctors lie?

[salty]

Doctors lie to patients all the time, by not explaining how bad it is... like, you're gonna die in 6 months.

a sense to explain if people will still cause irreparable harm to your body.People need entertainment and pleasure. Only reference points have long been blurred.Pleasure can be obtain reading a good book and not Smoking another cigarette.As to whether doctors lie, I will answer that according to statistics, all people lie during the day. Absolutely everything.About Smoking among doctors can give a life example:My childhood friend never smoked in my life. And so he graduated from the medical institute with a specialization in children's neurosurgeons.After he started working he started Smoking.This is all a consequence of the nerves and constant tension with which he is faced at work.Can say that he never in life and no one not will recommend start quit Smoking.He understands that it is very harmful.

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?

Of course they do... They are humans and in their job they have to lie sometimes in order to alleviate the "bad" news.
They now what it is bad or good for our health but that doesn't mean that they follow it in their personal lives. Consider other professions as well. Lawyers for example make small illegal actions in their everyday life many times. That doesn't mean that they don't know it, they do it in their consciousness.

I assume they are already a chain smoker even before they went to Med School. And sometimes its funny their reasoning on why they keep on smoking its just because , they're gonna die anyways. So with that in mind, they're professional and they know their code of ethics. They aint gonna lie giving advise on whats best for your health.

Doctor should be more responsible for himself, but they are always human and everyone have deadly sins.

[jak3]

Yes, they do! being a doctor is just their profession but that does not mean that they are not humans. humans often tell lies when they feel afraid or worried. similarly, a doctor can tell many lies to patents which doesn't hard anyone. just ignore them the main thing is that he will treat you well and their point of view around you is what a doctor should have.

Lols they are humans too, with pains, emotions, sickness and everything else. They live, breath and tell lies 70% or more because they just have to do it. They're traumatised so many times and experience pity/sadness always. They tell these untruths not to deceive parents/people, but to offer words that lighten their hearts in moments of despair and to spare their feelings. Among other reasons)

I had a long layover in SFO recently.  While I was charging my phone I was listening to some doctor talk to an associate of his.

Among other things, the doctor said 'they are building another $200,000,000 tower and they are not even taking out a bond.'

My take-away/interpenetration of this was that it was another medical building and that is that the medical-industrial complex is rolling in cash right now.  I expected this given my friend's bill for a broken arm is well above $50,000 now.  A single bone in her for-arm involving 3 hours in the ER.

Another point of interest is that in my small-ish home town here in Oregon, the central planning bureau came up with a new city plan a few years ago.  An amazingly large percentage of the city is set aside for the 'medical' part where the doctors offices and clinics are to be situated.  They are definitely planning something.

Oh ya, don't forget to get all caught up on your vaccines y-all.  Actually, I don't think 'forgetting' is going to be an option for much longer.

It depends on their situation and mentality of each doctor how they feel forward to a patient. Moreover lying in diagnosis of a patient is not a justice. In payment category they may lie by seeing the financial background of the patient or attender whosoever might be.

[Alpinat]

Doctors are helping sick people. We come to them to cure our sickness and disease. We also consult doctors to check our health so by giving us the result of the test, they must not lie to their patients, especially when it's really a serious matter. But then again, in my opinion, they are also a human, they have flaws so it's up to them what they will do.

[Airbuxf]

There are situations like that doctors say that you should get some meds which will eliminate symptom but not cause of disease. I think most of the doctors doesn't know final effects of the meds and finally people after few years become more sick than at begining. But thats not doctors' fault but big pharmas who produce medicines.

[bhabygrim]

Yes they also lie all of us lie they are also human .
So at some point they would lie about something .
No offense but I also think that some of them lie for their patient so the patient would come back.

As a general registered nurse, I will advice you to stick to these cautions and counselling you have been given. I know majority of health personnel's who smoke and drink but yet preach against smoking and drinking. they really know its bad for their health yet they do it. both smoking and drinking of strong alcohol frequently can lead to lung cancer and liver cirrhosis respectively and as your able registered nurse, I advice you not to emulate any doctor or nurse or health practitioner who does not do as he or she preaches but stick to what you have been told and assuredly that will help prolong your life.

I think doctors do lie and save you the same time why? because we have previous or old herbal medicine that some is more helpful rather than the given ointment or capsule and more. instead of suggesting a certain herbal medicine that they know is effective they give you a piece of paper which medicine that you can buy at the pharmacy. why do they do this? because there a something that it would broke a doctoral something or king a rule(forgot this part but about what I said is true)

believe me I hope you read this because this is what I say is true and legit.

take note that some herbals  are effective and some modern medicine is too also some of it is equivalent.

I think Doctors GUESS more than anything.  Sometimes they are wrong and you can get even worse!!

Truth be told, doctors, nurses and health professionals are found of smoking and drinking and many more but science has made us aware through health talks by this same doctors and nurses and health professionals, which means some of these class of professionals don't do what they educate us of and that does not mean we should emulate those who don't do as the say and risk our own precious life. life is precious and smoking and alcohol both has a great impact on our lungs and liver which are vital organs in the body. do what is right and prolong your life.

Some doctors, like those who work for major 'Health Maintenance Organizations' here in he U.S., seem to obtain an amazing amount of compensation for 'guessing' in a certain direction.  Inevitably that direction just so happens to result in huge spendings of their victim which ends up in the pockets of the pharmaceutical industry.

Note that if you are a 'very high net worth' individual, you A) don't need 'money' as most mortals understand the term, and B) have board seats on a variety of boards of directors in a variety of sectors.  Or sub-sectors.  If losses in one result in bigger gains in the other, that's fine.

I see most 'doctors' as being in the same class as most 'politicians'.  They are almost all basically puppets.  Some minority of them have some concept of how their strings get pulled, but most of those who do can find a justification to put on a set of blinders because life is relatively good for them.

Despite the fact that I agree with all the comments, we should not fail to understand that doctors are just professionals trying to help us with health related issues and at that still have they own personalities. Some time they life may contradict they profession but in all we must still take they advice in other for us to leave healthy.

I shall try to avoid doctors who are or who might be Talmudic in nature.

    "The Akum are not to be cured, even for money, unless it would incur their enmity."

If I am forced to use a doctor who might be influenced by the Talmud I will make it abundantly clear to him/her that if they don't do their best to make me (or my family member) better, they _will_ 'incur my enmity'.  Big-time.

Certain widely popularized 'medical ethicists' here in the U.S. seem to have some Talmudic influence circumstantially via their surnames, and less abstractly via their teachings.  Seems the height of folly to take a chance on any such person.  At least if one is outside the apartheid state of Israel.

The fact is that doctor told you not to smoke and drink and it turns out that he too smokes and drinks doesn't make him a liar.
A doctor is a human and so has his own way of life.
He told you the truth because smoking and drinking has some negative side effect on the smoker .
His work is to be truthful to patients.
His private life is his business .

But there are some medicines prescribed by the doctors intentionally to spread the new disease on our body slowly while curing the other disease which is called as side effect on the medication statement but this is a strategy of making profits from health care business.
