I maintain that pharmacy and medical students should be made to take an iron supplement twice daily and a calcium supplement three times daily just to see what that feels like.

Unethical? Yes.

Educational? YES.

I think the biggest misconception people have about preventative/full body imaging is that they think it'll speak for itself.

Actual interpretation of everything from imaging the labs to even meds requires context: what is the problem? What are we trying to rule out?

One of the insidious problems with medical disinformation is that it "hogs the air".

We spend time debunking BS and assuaging fears that we could have spent having actually valuable discussions.

*Tiny soapbox*

Calling it "Western Medicine" whitewashes historical and ongoing contributions made to modern medicine by the global community. It's meaningless and unnecessarily divisive.

I don't include prescription medicines in this category because there are (currently) way more legal restrictions on what those companies can claim their products do.
