Your frustrations are very real, and sadly common, today.

I think with my 40+yrs experience, I do think the main problem is that doctors refuse to continue to educate themselves.
They have been pandered to by drug companies for so long, have been given bribes and gifts for so long, they sit back and expect the world to come to them. Once a drug goes off patent, they do not look for new information on their own when the drug salespeople move on. So in effect they do not have much therapeutic useful information to guide them when seeing patients.

They don't really reach out to the world to find answers anymore.

They are angry too, with insurance companies, and high liability rates, and as long as they continue to bury their heads in the sand, those rates will go up and not down.

I have to say... how can anyone trust a doctor who after 20 yrs of NSAID availability, will call ME up to explain what an NSAID is or how it works?

How can a doctor today continue to prescribe D2 instead of D3 for his patients after doing the testing showing low D.

How can a doctor ignore the B12 data out there and never even test patients with neuro symptoms for low B12. How many of them do not even know what MTHFR stands for, when up to 30% of people in the US now may have this mutation?

One has to wonder and you are not alone with these questions, today, hopeless!
