Re: Yet another reason...
Also, don't forget that the human body has its own healing methods. In the majority of cases a doctor merely aids your bodies own mechanisms, perhaps speeding them up, or reducing pain. However, they still rely on the body "doing its thing" in most cases and repairing itself.
You technically don't need pain killers, or antibiotics in most cases. They are actually used too often these days to the point that they are becoming less effective[1]. Ironically, in some cases you'd be better off with probiotics rather than antibiotics[2], yet a doctor would still prescribe antibiotics.
People have become far too reliant on doctors for even the most basic problems. Got a cold? Off to the doctor for medication! Got a small fracture? Off to the doctor! etc
I've had colds, flu's and fractures (One on my arm was the worst after being pushed down a set of concrete steps) since not seeing a doctor, all of which have healed themselves without any medication, pain killers or assistance.
Thing is, unless you have massive amounts of blood loss, displaced bones, serious things such as MS, cancer, life threatening infections or other serious disabilities/problems then you don't strictly need a doctor. But if you have something serious (like in prior list) then you probably do need a doctor.
But why waste doctors time with minor things like colds which your body can heal on its own?
Your body can do more than you think. You just have to let it.
Plus at the end of the day, I would rather NHS money is spent on patients who need medical attention rather than me.
