^ Hilarious. But too true.
Don't worry, the food and pharmaceutical industry will fund research to let you know.
Very pointed. I once smart-assed about how doctors were as prone to fad behavior as anyone else and I got a response that they were
scientists so how could that be?
I pointed out that a long time ago, they used to wear their stethoscopes with the earpieces behind their necks and the chest pieces in one of their pockets, which seemed quite practical and handy. The way they do it now is draped over their necks with the earpieces hanging down on one side and the chestpieces hanging down on the other, which seemed quite faddish and awkward to me. I then remarked that a medico who carried it the old way would be laughed out of the hospital.
Now maybe there are some thinly rational reasons for the new "fad," but to me it's still a fad.
And note the time-honored choice of seeking a second.... wait for it.... "opinion."
