When visiting the doctor, is it better to LARP as a 90 IQ brainlet or make it clear you have a basic understanding of anatomy and biology?

If you have to ask you ARE the branlet.

It doesn't matter. The doctor won't do proper diagnostics either way. Doctors are lazy and greedy. Over the years they have optimized how to make maximum profit with minimum effort. If you pressure them into doing their job they'll just get pissed. Hippocratic oath - more like hypocritical oath.

Produce it on his desk right in front of him so he can medically analyze whether your sphincter is healthy.

If it's a life or death situation yes otherwise never trust the doctors.

Of course you will larp as a 90 iq brainlet. Otherwise their ego will be hurt too much.

You’re supposed to lie about symptoms for things they need to check to get treatment.

I know you're an american because you think it dying is the consequence of not going to a doctor

med student here
you patientoids don't need to larp as being sub 90 IQ, it's patently obvious from the moment I walk into the room

I feel unsafe in the environment you have created. May I please speak to the head of your department so I can report you as an antisocial and potentially problematic student.

Coming in with theories instead of questions is probably the best way there is to annoy your doctor

im in college and i'm designing and 3d printing medical devices (prosthetics). i've been to 2 different dentists since starting, and i've gotten into neat conversations talking about the technology because a lot of dentist offices are adopting 3d printing.
i figure if someone was genuinely interested in the thing that i do, and had at least some baseline understanding so i don't have to dumb it down as if i'm talking to a child, yeah i'd like to talk about it.

I love it when patients come in with something interesting to contribute and most people's misconceptions are harmless. I'm a new doctor though and we are taught differently from the old guard, who tend to be more paternalistic.

the number of doctors I've seen shilling quack products completely delegitimizes their degrees

I'm a medical student myself. Almost done with med school. When I go to the doctor myself I larp as a software engineer. When they know you're a almost a doctor yourself they'll be much more careful and feel like they have to prove something to you which ultimately leads to a worse outcome than if they just did their thing

Ask the doctor if you feel anything, just respond with "Oh."
