Something you always have to consider, even if it is a shitty doctor for our standards, it might still be better than no doctor.

Especially for those in extreme poverty and zero access to healthcare.

This vial has a 50/50 chance of containing cough medicine or cyanide, but hey, it’s still better than no medicine!

The real move is to spend years building up an immunity to cyanide to own the AI haters

The solution for people in extreme poverty with zero access to healthcare is to get them healthcare, not to boil oceans so that silicon valley people can get rich from giving them disastrously bad medical advice.

No doctor means your shit doesn’t get treated. A false doctor (e.g. alternative medicine) gives you a false sense of hope at best and ruins your health at worst.
