Therapy today is expensive and taxing, Not having to work on yourself sounds relaxing. Instead of evolving and changing your ways, You go to the doctor, they make you come and then your husband pays!

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.
No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.
We love art credits when possible.

Ah, one half of Garfunkel and Oates. She is excellent!!
They diagnose everyone as fat, though. Unless you're a smoker or drinker in which case that gets the mark first. Unless there's any hint of "drug use" ever.
Unless you're underweight, in which case the solution to everything is to eat more. Yes, doctor, I am skinny, but I don't think has anything to do with me asking to get on minoxidil.
To be fair, poor diet can contribute to hair loss.
But unless the doctors run tests to find out what they're deficient in, eating more of what they are already eating will simply exasperate the deficiency as they're not getting what they need it in the first place.
Don't forget that in the 14th century if you fixed what the doctor couldn't diagnoses you are called a witch. Usually by telling people to eat their vegetables instead of live entirely off of organ meat
Organ meat is actually kinda good for you if it's varied.
Like, if you're doing full carnivore, that's how you avoid dying long term. But you need to be really deli;erate about it, like going vegan.
I was just saying that telling someone to stop eating only liver and kidneys and instead eat something green to cure their gout would likely get you labeled a witch.
Telling people how to improve their QOL with everyday changes, or just how to not die, always gets me called something like that.
Find a doc like my old one. She's 65 and talks like a burnt out, grizzled cabbie. Listens close, takes questions seriously, isn't afraid to give you her "stupid look" if you deserve it.
Her clinic got bought out by the giant regional health gangsters, so she can no longer make decisions according to her professional opinion, gotta go with the gangster's policies. Had to quit going.
But hey! We got Obamacare yesterday! Now if I can find a new doctor...
...sounds like my former doctor, except a burnt-out grizzled hippie: i blame the health insurance industry for the fate of her private practice...
...anyway, after the corporate buyout i just quit going; shame because she was a really great general practitioner...
There are 19,102 women's health centers in the US. There are 233 men's health centers in the US.
Yeah, our society totally doesn't care about women's health 🙄
