Lots of medicine is unnecessary theater, you could probably do a lot of the more common diagnostic/treatment stuff with not a ton of training. Most of the time doctors are not magicians, and a lot of their seemingly wise precautions are really from training in a paranoid system

As a general rule, I take much higher risks than doctors recommend, because their risk tolerance is soooo low and the benefits from experimenting outweigh the increased chance of side effect

(Ofc I don't mean like... go smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, there are in fact some things where the risk more clearly outweighs the reward, actually go look at the risk yourself and decide if it's worth it for you)

Anabolic steroids is a perfect example of this . I take testosterone and Nandrolone. Changed my life . I look 10 xbetter , I feel better . And then you find out nobody is even sure if steroids are truly harmful . Strong Evidence going both ways
