Your term "zombie doctor" sounds frighteningly apocalyptic. And it seems that things in the healthcare sector in many countries are the same, or at least similar. The only difference is perhaps whether the patient has money or not, right? This again convinces me that the function of the healthcare system in many countries is not aimed at maintaining a healthy society.
Regarding antibiotics, this year a report by the State Agency for National Security (note this!!) noted that the excessive use of antibiotics by Bulgarians and microbial resistance are one of the threats to Bulgaria's security!!!😁Bulgarians are indeed known for their excessive use of antibiotics, because every old-school doctor (that's how they were taught at university) first prescribes antibiotics, in fact, only prescribes antibiotics. But what did the state do after this report - provide free medicines for children as part of supporting Bulgarian families, which free medicines only include antibiotics.😂
I really feel for you, once you get into this roller coaster, it's hard to get out of it. I hope you find a doctor who is more inclined towards homeopathy or herbal medicine than towards antibiotics, which, yes, once helped before they started to harm.
I'm using the term "zombie doctor" for a few reasons nothing apocalyptic, 1. mostly they don't listen to you, 2. they follow a checklist of things regardless of having already done it all before making any progress difficult, 3. they seem un-educated and incapable of anything slightly different from their quick summaries of any more complex condition other than a cold. I could go on but those are the main 3.
I mostly agree with you about the money thing, but there are still a few cases on those with money who seem to fall into the zombie doctor trap. Or so it seems from what I have read, however I'm not sure if in these cases they were seen by a general doctor or if they had paid many thousands to be seen. It was not stated, but I would of assumed the latter.
That's a crazy finding from State Agency For National Security, aren't these things suppose to cost the country a ton of money!?. The finding raises so many more questions.
Your so right about this being a type of roller coaster, from what I have been reading it does seem like for many once they start visiting the doctors and following their advice their going back there a lot more often. Which is why I have been trying my best to stick to the things I want, I remember on the first visit hoping that if they could help me I wouldn't ever be going back there again for a very long time hopefully.
I honestly just don't know what is the answer, which is why sometimes I think there may not be one and perhaps a virus is there to kill and nothing more. I have tried some herbal and homeopathy without noticing much of it's affects which is the same thing with the antibiotics. The problem with the homeopathy or herbal medicine that I have noticed so far here is they charge you insane prices to reach them, and with little guarantee they can help you in any way. I feel that if many of them actually wanted to help they would lower their prices, I think like this they would also generally get more money because many more people would be able to afford them.
