“DIY is great and people should have access to resources if they want to do it” and “DIY can be unsafe for some people depending on their specific circumstances and it’s understandable if some people don’t want it” are two beliefs that can coexist

unless you’re getting bloodwork on your own while doing diy, it’s still more unsafe. the doctor’s main job (really the only one) is to know when something is going wrong and how to stop it. for many people, the doctor is unnecessary, but not everyone is so lucky.

Doctors are really fucking stupid and keep us on low doses a lot of the time. Sometimes DIY is better long term.
