Heard from a vet that many docs nowadays are actively trying to sell you stuff to keep you in a paying cycle. These bills are pretty insane. Tbf irregular heartbeats can be just nothing (my stepdad had some and has no issues whatsoever), but also be a sign that your heart is working improperly. So better safe than sorry. | ||

So better safe than sorry. Yes. Beware private medicine, it attracts sociopaths, particularly in countries where public medicine is also available. There are a lot of quacks in the world as well. Don't be too quick to take a doctor's word for what you ought to do. In a lot of cases the procedures to fix your present problem have high risk of creating bigger problems, if not right away then down the line. You need to look for research that has been done, and if there is hardly any then don't assume it's fine. As someone living with chronic pain from unethical surgeries that were done to me as a kid, this topic makes me very upset. In a society where we track every stupid little thing people do when shopping, we don't track anything when it comes to outcomes in medicine, be it drugs or surgeries, and it is very sad because we could so easily have that data and make it accessible to people who are currently making decisions completely in the dark. We really live in a dark age of medicine, relying on data from tiny sample sizes of biased studies to try to navigate our health problems. It should just be a simple maths problem, does getting something done outweigh the risk of not getting something done, the end. So often you get scared into getting procedures done which turn out not to have a good history, and then your problems get accelerated and you lose lots of money trying to figure out what to do. It's very tempting not to look anything up about what you're being recommended, because of the very real problem of reducing your chances of success by making yourself stressed about the risks, but you just can't rely on people working in private industries to take care of you. They are monetarily incentivized to keep you visiting them and getting every procedure as soon as possibly, because heaven forbid you have time to make a decision or you end up getting it somewhere else because you move. Fuck I hate the reputation doctors enjoy from movies and media, there are so many crooked ones who leverage it. Best of luck and tread carefully. If you have to get something done, you have to get something done, but I urge you to look it up, to ask around to other people who may have gotten it done, ask your parents if any of their friends have had stuff done... etc. And don't assume all tests are safe, some of them have their own risks. You only want so much radiation, for example. | ||
