Guess they are trained at medic school to use stock phrases like this. It
called the no-intervention syndrome, and saves the NHS a fortune in
operating theatre costs! UK that is. In the US, don't they judge your
operability by the thickness of you wallet? ;-))


That's still the most common way in the US.

But things are changing. More and more people are becoming aware
of real healthcare instead of our Medical Doctors, who are trained to
use drugs. (Contrary to the Oath of Hippocrates, I might add. Drugs
are, ipso facto, poisonous. That's why they are controlled substances.
Anyone who takes the Oath is vowing to never use poisonous or harmful
substances.)

There is more awareness of real health care. This may include
surgery or drugs, but is more likely to include diet, lifestyle,
breathing, thinking, exercise, and relationships.
