Doctors and dentists do seem to contradict each other. Doctor says several small meals instead of one big one, dentist says the more often you eat the worse it is for your teeth. Doctor says you need fruit, dentist says it’s too much sugar.
Sounds like both are probably true and the optimal solution is to just swallow some sort of sci-fi-esque nutritious food paste or meal replacement straight through a tube.
But I’d rather take the risk of cavities every once in a while than lose my sanity.
It’s really just a single celled protein combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins, and minerals. Everything the body needs.
Alternatively, eat using a funnel so that the food skips your mouth and ends up directly in the stomach. Then it cant damage your teeth and you still get all the nutrients /s
feels to me like dentists see teeth as precious pearls that should never be touched by anything but the most gentle of waters and cared for every day for at least an hour
i really don’t get it, body parts are meant to be used, not just look pretty
Imagine being able to afford two specialists.
It’s normal in many central European countries. Germany for example. Going to the doctor and even longer hospital stays don’t bankrupt you. Usually your job is safe too.
Not sure why you said “central” European. It’s also normal in the West, South, North and East. Could have just said many European countries.
Just because I wasn’t not sure about places further away from where I live
Fair enough. I apologize.
It’s normal in the US too. I’m on Medicaid and have a dentist and a podiatrist.
Medicaid is weirdly good. It has weird quirks and less options usually, but it’s practically just a more functional insurance than a lot of employer provided ones (which are often worse than marketplace)
I have a dentist, a gastroenterologist, an orthopedic doctor, a pneumologist, a dermatologist, a throat nose and ear doctor, am oculist, a psychiatrist, a psychological therapist who’s also MD and my “normal” doctor and man I feel sick after writing this…
The dentist is quite expensive but only because I want non standard treatment. The rest is paid by the public insurance.
I misread oculist as occultist and had a good laugh.
Usa insurance being tied to employment is the biggest scam
Here in Australia, Medicare covers it all, you don’t pay a cent directly, and you can have virtually as many appointments as possible on a single card even if all your family members are on it with their own appointments too. And it’s not reslly limited unless you go to a private provider which also turns out to be cheap enough, so you can just as easily have X-rays, blood tests, vaccinations, hospital visits for broken limbs, even treatment and care for multiple days after a stingray attack, which actually happened to my dad once.
