But, do you agree? Is it not a little weird to go to a hospital to seek treatment that falls outside the ‘western medicine’ umbrella?
If I was a doctor and someone came in asking for the best homeopathic regime to grow back their amputated leg, I’d drug them and send them to stu’s rape dungeon. |

LOL
I think that's quite an extreme example. I don't think it's weird at all. People may not know where exactly to go to get treatment that meets their needs - a hospital wouldn't be a bad place to start. :p |

In the real world (as opposed to certain doctor shows) medical professionals are required to respect the right of their patients to be idiots. :p |
But can't you refuse to do something idiotic? Or allow them to do so under your supervision?

Here Lira, read this if it interests you. It's the practice guideline for complementary therapies here in Ontario.

And this is the best practice guideline for client centered care:

Already read the first, but I now understand why my position is not really "orthodox" :p |

I've got a hippy mum, remember? I know first-hand that alternative medicine is "alternative" because it isn't medicine :p |

Honestly, if "alternative medicine" makes people happy, and they get some benefit from the placebo, why not just leave them alone?
My entire family is super religious and I have given up trying to convince them to be logical. Why? Because I have realized that despite their ignorance, they are happy and content with their lives because of what they believe. Their beliefs give them purpose. Why should I attempt to take that away from them if that is what they want? Sure, I think it's completely ridiculous, but arguably, they are happier than I am since I don't believe I am going to some wonderful place after I die, or that some magical and all powerful being is watching over me and taking care of me, etc. etc.
Just leave them be. |

Oh it is quite bad, to the point my grandmother registered me at school under my second and third middle names rather than have me traumatised by by people going :wtf: all the time and never taking me seriously.
As a 5 year old it was pretty rough being told your name sucks. :( |
