Topic: Do you think Doctors lie? - page 7. (Read 2192 times)
I had a long layover in SFO recently. While I was charging my phone I was listening to some doctor talk to an associate of his.
Among other things, the doctor said 'they are building another $200,000,000 tower and they are not even taking out a bond.'
My take-away/interpenetration of this was that it was another medical building and that is that the medical-industrial complex is rolling in cash right now. I expected this given my friend's bill for a broken arm is well above $50,000 now. A single bone in her for-arm involving 3 hours in the ER.
Another point of interest is that in my small-ish home town here in Oregon, the central planning bureau came up with a new city plan a few years ago. An amazingly large percentage of the city is set aside for the 'medical' part where the doctors offices and clinics are to be situated. They are definitely planning something.
Oh ya, don't forget to get all caught up on your vaccines y-all. Actually, I don't think 'forgetting' is going to be an option for much longer.
Recently i went to the hospital to check see the doctor and i was told the doctor to attend to me will be back soon, while waiting, he came in and from the look of things he had gone to smoke, it got me thinking, can it be that they are telling us not to do this and that and if you follow them you wont eat anything because everything is bad to health, no drinking of alcohol, smoking of any kind and the list is endless, why would a doctor now turned around and go smoking?
Lols they are humans too, with pains, emotions, sickness and everything else. They live, breath and tell lies 70% or more because they just have to do it. They're traumatised so many times and experience pity/sadness always. They tell these untruths not to deceive parents/people, but to offer words that lighten their hearts in moments of despair and to spare their feelings. Among other reasons)
Yes, they do! being a doctor is just their profession but that does not mean that they are not humans. humans often tell lies when they feel afraid or worried. similarly, a doctor can tell many lies to patents which doesn't hard anyone. just ignore them the main thing is that he will treat you well and their point of view around you is what a doctor should have.

Doctor should be more responsible for himself, but they are always human and everyone have deadly sins.

I assume they are already a chain smoker even before they went to Med School. And sometimes its funny their reasoning on why they keep on smoking its just because , they're gonna die anyways. So with that in mind, they're professional and they know their code of ethics. They aint gonna lie giving advise on whats best for your health.

Of course they do... They are humans and in their job they have to lie sometimes in order to alleviate the "bad" news.
They now what it is bad or good for our health but that doesn't mean that they follow it in their personal lives. Consider other professions as well. Lawyers for example make small illegal actions in their everyday life many times. That doesn't mean that they don't know it, they do it in their consciousness.
Doctors lie to patients all the time, by not explaining how bad it is... like, you're gonna die in 6 months.
a sense to explain if people will still cause irreparable harm to your body.People need entertainment and pleasure. Only reference points have long been blurred.Pleasure can be obtain reading a good book and not Smoking another cigarette.As to whether doctors lie, I will answer that according to statistics, all people lie during the day. Absolutely everything.About Smoking among doctors can give a life example:My childhood friend never smoked in my life. And so he graduated from the medical institute with a specialization in children's neurosurgeons.After he started working he started Smoking.This is all a consequence of the nerves and constant tension with which he is faced at work.Can say that he never in life and no one not will recommend start quit Smoking.He understands that it is very harmful. 
Yes they are lying. Because they are human like us. in you smoke story, its true. my close friends are doctor 3 of them are smoking cigarettes. They are all told smoking is extremely harmful for health. I quit smoking 4 years ago. but they are still smoking. its a addiction
Doctors do smoke and drink but tell you not to do it because like they can't get rid of their addiction, you too won't be able to get rid of it easily.
From my experience, doctors don't actually lie but I have noticed that when they don't know the cure and the sickness, they keep lying about what it really is and keep giving you these medicines which are so expensive to make you feel they will work. I had a simple ingrown toenail infection and had to visit like 15+ doctors in 3 months (from regular physicians to surgeons) and finally got cured by an MS in a village while none of the city doctors had any idea how to cure it.

There could be cases in where patients will fake their sickness and by faking their sickness it will make the doctor lie on that. Since, doctor does not know the real case of the patient since they are faking it, then it will make the Doctor lie.
So, you are taking the actions of one doctor and projecting that across the whole profession? That is such a strange extrapolation. Yes, individual doctors may not follow the medical advise that they dish out - but people are not perfect and even doctors can pick up uncontrolled habits.
I know a lot of doctors who smoke like locomotives and drink like horses. But what they say about health, I think it's true. 
Doctors work according to there profession and at that you are expected to follow they instruction when they prescribe drugs for you and how to live a healthy life, because the not what they do because a doctor that smoke does not mean you as a patient can smoke when you health is down.
I don't think that doctors lie but just they don't have all answers.
They are not perfect and can't know everything and yes, sometimes they make mistakes to.
Just, their mistakes are very expensive and critical.

Antibiotic for everything even if it isn't necessary, this was common method in Poland while ago. So yes they lie, but not all of them.
Taking too much of antibiotic will make it useless because bad bacteria will find a way to destroy the antibodies if it was taken regularly so just use it as lethal weapon. 
I find it funny sometimes tho that they always tell us to have a good amount of sleeps yet most of them are actually not doing it
Same things can be applied for alcohol. To have good health you need to have good knowledge of the body yourself and know when and how to use a doctor correctly. Its a real challenge to do this and takes time to learn this skill.

May be the nature of your injury requires antibiotics and that is why the doctor prescribe it for you, but the question of whether doctors lies is in the context of they professionalism and life style either if doctors really practice what they preach to patients or simply do otherwise.

Yeah, most of them are on call if there are some emergency and they needed to respond late at night.They are coming, it's the funny part but I still know that many of them having that kind of beauty rest and practice what they preach.
Possibly not all, but a lot of them surely do. Not all doctors have decent morals and would basically do even illegal things for money so lying isn't really a big deal for them. Some tell white lies to ease a patient's or the patient's fsmily' suffering, and some just blatantly lie to take advantage. Every profession has a good supply of liars.
Ohh, it's the part of telling their patient of taking a good amount of sleep while them being as a doctor or consultant for their patient, sometimes don't follow that.
could the doctor lie? yes! but not all doctors lie. usually doctors who lie because he has a bond of cooperation with drug companies and drug companies that sometimes determine how many drugs should be sold by the doctor so sometimes doctors lie to get sales targets
