Old doctors vs. Young doctors - serious differences.

This could very well be at the crux of the problems in health care today, "older doctors are more likely to recommend lifestyle changes ... while younger doctors are more likely to prescribe medications."



We seem to have devolved into a system of health that looks at test results and associated drug treatments before considering how the patient feels and lives.



I suggest that "older doctors" learned these things in medical school. Modern medical school graduates seem to have been shorted in the areas of diet and lifestyle - probably in the spirit of expediency. After all, they are required to see many patients each day - and pay off their student loans. They no longer have time to listen to the patient and act clinically.
