I think you took this too personal, mostly because you replied to me directly, but so be it.
Not all doctors are 100% spot on either.
They are humans who make judgement calls and often, mistakes when doing so.
I no longer trust very many medical professionals after extreme exposure to them, and I speak from a lot more experience that I would hope you or anyone else will never have to.
A brain specialist almost killed me with a very poor judgement call.
Good thing I didn't trust him, huh?
I have another couple of them I would gladly push down a flight of stairs with him.
I think you missed the point about MJ being natural.
Yes, nature has many poisons that one should avoid, but so does the chemistry lab.
MJ isn't a total unknown, as it has been in use for far longer that any pharmaceuticals.
Just sayin'
Nah, no worries. It's super rare that I take anything personally really.
Much to my non-stop irritation though, the way I talk does rather often make me sound that way.
It's worse in person though. I cant tell you how many times I've gotten something like "what are you so bothered by?" when I'm actually in a good mood and just enjoying scenery or something, simply because we were having a conversation and some blasted thing I said got misconstrued yet again. Tonight I'm in a good mood after exploring some fractal stuff while being on this island. Aint no anger or agitation here. But yeah, it often just... doesnt come out that way when I talk.
One of the many hilarious ways in which the whole autism thing manifests for me.
Now that being said, as for the bit about the doctors specifically: Yes, you are right about that.
BUT. There's a piece of advice that so many will always give: "get a second opinion. And then a third". And THAT is why. Because sometimes... even a professional really is a doofus. Much like dealing with any product or business, if you want a good experience on your end, you MUST shop around. A lot. Even though the process might make you want to stab something. But also, you have to "detach" a bit. Allowing previous experiences to seep into the process destroys logic. Not just with this sort of thing, I mean. Even if you're doing something like, say, buying a new computer, you might find yourself sort of auto-adverse to things that, in reality, are quite good. But previous "conditioning" wont let you see that. Believe me on this one: I've been guilty of it OFTEN. I tend to, well, not deal very well with products/services that dont do what they're bloody well supposed to. It's hard to keep that aspect from sort of "infecting" further shopping experiences. Heck, right now, I'm angling for a new iPad to use for art, despite my UTTER LOATHING for Apple and the fact that my previous iPad is the tech equivalent of a gibbering madman. But dagnabit, I gotta force that out of my mind and look objectively, and right now, all evidence says that this product is what I need. Of course, there is still more research to be done, but it's looking like that'll be the buy.
Back to the docs though, I have doctors I definitely trust, but then, the process of meeting them was very detailed and carried out by someone who is distressingly good at being thorough. Not to mention a lot of experience. With both being on the spectrum, and my non-stop pain, well... yeah, a lot of doctor stuff. And physical therapy (which is the bit I'm TRULY thankful for).
What I tend not to trust is dentists. No, thank you, I dont want A FREAKING DRILL in my mouth. Or whatever other implements of torture they pull outta nowhere. Yes, I have a phobia, thank you.
I've forgotten where I was going with this. Mentally I'm still in fractal-land, it is rather distracting.
