The more I learn about medicine, the more problems I have with jayparkinsonmd. he uses a lot of pop medicine and kind of objectivist principles towards health to garner attention to his business. I read an article about his residency (in peds), and his old private practice (refusal to see anyone over 40 bc that's when all the chronic/systemic diseases crop up), and just feel like he postures more than he practices.

His seems like a very privileged view of medicine as well. I think zombiecuddle might have said once, his practice basically catered specifically to upwardly mobile people. Isn’t the point of medicine to treat everyone? I always have a vague niggling feeling reading many of his posts, but generally don’t know quite enough about medicine or epidemiology or whatever to articulate exactly what is wrong with it. It’s all very Dr Oz.
