Big Pharma has taken over the educating of docs, so it's treat symptoms, before asking about cause of. Lucky to find one, in 1st world countries, that doesn't want to prescribe something. Good to find one that states your healthy, or suggest some minor dietary and exercise changes to eleviate any symptoms, instead of going right to the script pad. My GP back in USA was old school, cause, before treating symptoms, for long term results. My GP here, a Nephrologist is the same, along with my Cardiologist, and haven't been corrupted by big phama. I found the same with GP, at a guess, doing consultations at Camillian Hosp, where I did the most of my almost yearly check ups. Never pushing meds or more tests, but bluntly pointing out the obvious; lose weight & lay off the damn pastries. Last 10+ years, taken over my yearly check up, and applied that uncommon common sense, and brought all my numbers down to normal levels, to near excellent, without giving up much of anything. Yea, whole foods & moderation. I don't find TH nearly as corrupted as the reports we hear from the 1st world countries. Yea, if you go to Thai hosp with minor this & that, they give you a bag of antibody and or pain reliever, with 'if symptoms persist' , come back in 2 weeks. If it's bacterial, very rare, then it will help. If not, then your body self cures most things in 2 weeks anyway. Antibodies are cheaper & faster that testing for what ever the real infection is caused by. Muscular and skeletal aches & pains will usually receed in couple weeks anyway, if you behave yourself. My experiences anyway, and I've had my fair share of, before retiring. Almost serious stuff and minor procedures, they, Thai docs, seem to be pretty good at, or have been in my case. Haven't gone under the knife for anything serious here.
