That’s a Much Better Plan!
This feels like a scene out of a comedy sketch. The doctor insisting on putting some random body lotion on an incredibly severe burn even though it’ll clearly do more harm than good, and then the patient explains what he had been doing up until that moment. “That’s a much better plan” is a punchline of its own.
Doctors have good suggestions, but it’s your body at the end of the day, and there is no one-answer-fits-all, even in medicine. When visiting the doctor, it should be a joint effort of the two of you to come up with a solution that works for you.
