Sadly, the profession we, the laymen, know the least about, is the one we have to take the most control over for the sake of our health. Your job is to, step by step, build a team of doctors whose values align with yours.
If you pair the above with a three-pronged approach (1: hedge against serious illnesses through lifestyle changes and specialized insurance policies, 2: a team of western medicine professionals, 3: a team of alternative medicine practitioners) you will have done more than most. Dive into biohacking to level up for bonus points.

this is the advice most often given however, it's much different when applied. I've had docs (and nurses) mock me for mispronouncing medical terms when I asked them questions about a condition I have. I've had a doc point to my "smartphone there" and do my own research on my condition.
while we are supposed to assume management and responsibility for our health, docs and nurses in reality are against that, in my experience. shutup and do as we tell you is the prevailing attitude.
