      My doctor was great about that. Obviously he was usually right but there were a few times that I brought him articles (medical ones, not from Reader's Digest etc) and he accepted and read them and said "thank you for making me aware of this."

    Decades ago, a wise internist told me that the reason they called it the "practice of medicine" is that doctors hadn't gotten it perfect yet. You have some of his wisdom, Dr. Youn.

      The term is not limited to law and medicine. Consultancies, engineering firms, architects, and many other kinds of professionals also refer to their firms, specialities or lines of business as 'practices'. It's first recorded as such in 1421 to mean ‘to exercise oneself in a skill or art in order to acquire, improve or maintain proficiency’. From 1542, however, it is recorded as meaning ‘to perform (an activity) or exercise (a skill) repeatedly’.
      Medicine is not something that can ever be 'perfected' because it's an inexact science that's also ever-evolving; and like all biological systems, both disease-causing organisms and their victims evolve. Furthermore, we're making medical discoveries everyday that either confirm or discredit previous theories and practices within the medical and scientific fields.What was considered a 'cure' in yesteryear has become 'not evidence based' now but will soon be seen as a possible 'cure' again. It happens every year in medicine where things change because of more years of research, which ironically takes us back to the practices of yesteryear. We seem to be stuck in this endless contradictory cycle of medical cures and discoveries, and where the same scientific research studies can yield different results at different times.
      As an A&E doctor, I'm humbled everyday by how little my colleagues and I know even after years of practice. For this reason, I remind my patients that it's important not to outsource the responsibility for their health-care to external parties and rely too much on doctors to 'fix' them, but educate themselves in order to choose the path best suited to their individual needs, which may include integrative approaches. Allopathic medicine is very young in its development whereas holistic and traditional medicines have existed for millennia, so it'd be imprudent to dismiss them when we're dealing with people (whole organisms) and not just the disease (pathogens).

    Well, I went to see a doctor about not being able to breathe properly through my nose who held a finger under my nose, told me to breathe and then told me that it was just my imagination. Went to see a different doctor who actually looked at my nostrils, said I had a deviated septum and then ordered a CT scan and the imagery was shocking. My left airway was a fraction of my right one. So this "psychological issues" story makes me really angry.

      My mom is a cosmetologist, and she has told me that it’s more that it prevents dead skin from sloughing off naturally, and also suffocates skin which is porous. your skin doesn’t absorb it like it would with plant or animal oils. So people with acne or sensitive skin, or skin conditions like psoriasis should avoid it as it can make those conditions worse, and can cause breakouts of pimples. Otherwise it’s safe.

    My mom was a Dr and my dad was a chiropractor. He trained in the US after the war at the Lincoln College of Chiropractic which focused heavily on anatomy and he did not believe that manipulation could cure every ill like some other schools taught. At one time he had the biggest chiropractic practice in the Southern hemisphere. In his later years he studied acupuncture and had great success with that too. He eventually started doing acupuncture on racehorses and achieved spectacular results. (Horses don't have a placebo effect, which means it really does work). My dad died in 1984 already, almost 40 years ago, so he was definitely way ahead of his time, and I'm so grateful to be the daughter of two exceptional, forward thinking people. (When my mom qualified there was only one other female in her class).

Now I am back to square dancing and enjoying life to the fullest and I had a retired physiotherapist who dances in the same club as me tell me that most people do not recover the way I did.

    My monolids (I don’t have the epicanthal fold tho) developed into double eyelid a few years ago on their own. The scary part was that it happened to one eye first so the other monolid eye looked like it had ptosis in comparison. Thinking maybe it was indeed ptosis, I went to see a couple ophthalmologists, a couple oculoplastic surgeons, and a plastic surgeon and they all have no clue as to why or how it happened. The Japanese oculoplastic surgeon I consulted told me they look great and natural and that people pay alot of money to have eyes like mine. She was the most puzzled of all the doctors. She kept saying “hmm, huh” trying to figure it out. Almost a year later, the other eye turned to double eyelids so thankfully I don’t need to get surgery to get them to match.
    When I was younger I always wanted double eyelids to look like Asian celebrities. Then as an adult when my eyelids lost a bit of puffiness and fat, my monolids looked good and I finally appreciated them. Once I started loving my monolids, they decided to flip into doubles lol.
    I’m still blaming the lash serums for it since the prostaglandins can cause orbital fat loss. Maybe with less fat, it changed how my lids opened? Anyways, I feel lucky that they look good because I was told by all the doctors that there is no surgery to turn double eyelids back to monolids.

      @@sct4040 Any lash serum that contains prostaglandin will carry the risk of orbital fat loss. You may or may not get this and instead get darkening of the eyelid skin, permanent darkening of the iris (color part of the eye), or other side effect. Latisse was notorious for all the symptoms and it’s only available by prescription. I used an over the counter lash serum and they aren’t regulated by the FDA because they’re cosmetic.
      It’s cheaper to get the eyelid surgery because the lash serum caused me to get meibomian gland dysfunction. Basically the oil glands along the eyelid margin got clogged. It’s incurable and I’ve had 6 IPL (laser) treatments at $400 each ($2,400 so far) and will have to get one every 6-10 months for the rest of my life. I also have to do warm compresses (USB powered compress $100) twice a day for 20 mins followed by an eyelid massage to express the melted oils in the eyelids, and then a lid scrub with a hypoclorous acid spray ($30 per month). I also have to take 2000 mg of Omega-3 fish oil supplements daily ($50+/month) and take a lose dose antibiotic daily. All this is quite expensive so I recommend you just get the eyelid surgery. It’s way cheaper than to live with blepharitis. A couple thousand $ and it’s all done with plus the outcome is more predictable. Besides the high cost of treating MGD/Blepharitis, I also have eye discomfort, like dryness and light sensitivity. But at least my eyes look pretty now 🤷🏻‍♂️
      Oh and I forgot to calculate in the cost of all the vials of lash serums that I went through. ($50/month for about 4 years) $2400! 😬 Ya, surgery is cheaper and safer.

      Yeah possibly from normal aging and orbital fat loss. Both my parents do have double eyelids so I have the genetics for it. My parents always found it strange that my brother and I didn’t have double eyelids. It was just so strange that my eyes changed so late in life. It’s actually a blessing because my upper eyelids were beginning to droop with excess skin. Now that there is a crease, my eyes look lifted and also my eyelashes point straight forward instead of downwards like it used it.

    Thank you for that! I believe the medical profession has trained doctors to have a superiority complex in which many times they believe they are right and have a hard time admitting that they are wrong. They often fail to realize their methodology of treatment is referred to as a 'practice' - thus indicating they will not always get it right and it is forever evolving. Many times cases that certain doctors have not frequently encountered will dismiss some symptoms and can often make patients feel like they are going crazy. You set a beautiful example for doctors to realize they don't know everything and admitting they were wrong can be an extremely healing step for a patient.

    Kudos to you. It takes a great person to acknowledge the things that you said. The areas that resonated the most with me were (1) blaming the patient, particularly women, when the doctor is unable to find a solution to an issue. Doctors called me a “frigid mother” when we were trying to determine what was wrong with our son. (Turns out he was on the autism spectrum.) (2) So glad you are acknowledging the validity of Integrative/Functional medicine practitioners and naturopaths. In my case, the surgeon was wanting to cut out 25% of my colon. No treatment plan, no change in diet, nothing but surgery, just cut out the colon, without finding out why the constant diverticulitis attacks were happening. The next day I saw a naturopath who told me if I did what she told me to do, I would keep my colon and never have another diverticulitis attack again. I decided to take her advice and do what she told me to do. I still have my colon. I never had another diverticulitis attack again. The sad irony is that not one medical doctor, when I tell them this true story, has ever asked me what did the naturopath tell me to do? Wouldn’t that be the number one question? But no, not one MD has ever expressed any interest in how this naturopath saved my colon. The arrogance (which actually hides fear and ignorance) of the medical community astounds me. If I had a broken arm I would be first in line at the doctor’s office. But anything to do with nutrition and the gut/brain connection, MD’s are woefully uneducated and inexperienced in, and to add insult to injury, they belittle, mock and dismiss anyone they don’t understand. You, Dr. Youn, have my respect.

    The hip injury thing is so true. My mom worked with the elderly most of her life and every time a patient injured their hips and went to the hospital, they would die soon after returning, at the hospital, or come back in mentally and physically much worse off.
    The sad truth is that not only are their aging bodies struggling to heal, but also that they get even less care at the hospital than they do at home or in the hospice. The lack of socialization and not being in a familiar environment makes it a lot harder for them to stay healthy, especially if they have dementia. Not to mention they're much more vulnerable to the many transmissible illnesses concentrated in the hospital environment.
    I want to be clear that I do not blame the overworked hospital staff for this at all. The issue stems from not having universal healthcare and from not giving people the possibility to be treated at home whenever possible and for people not being able to take time off to help care for their elderly friends or family.

    Dear Dr. Youn, thank you for acknowledging it. I am particularly pleased that you are discussing Breast Implant Illness. I underwent explantation with total capsulectomy this year due to ruptured implants, and I chose not to retain a foreign body in my system. I had been experiencing chronic migraines, back pain, and fatigue, although I hadn't necessarily attributed all of these symptoms to the implants, maybe only the back pain. Following the explantation, all these symptoms vanished immediately. Additionally, I've observed a significant improvement in my skin, and my eye whites appear brighter. BII is a genuine concern, and I hope there will be more studies to substantiate it. I also believe we should embrace our ethnicities and take pride in our uniqueness.
