    I’m bi-polar (true). I’m gonna trust a stupid statistical word generator over my doctor. Yeah, this should be fine.

      There are so many stories and my own experience of General Practitioners getting very serious things very wrong that I have difficulty in trusting anything they say. No so other specialists, just General Practitioners.

      “It’s only a cold.” seems to be the GP equivalent of the IT " Have you tried turning it off and on again?".

      One seems to need to keep ones wits about one with both AI and GPs.

        The world is full of old wives’ tales, folklore and superstitions. And a bunch of questionable medical and beauty treatments going from coffee enemas to salmon sperm injections.
