Maybe, but they aren't laughing when they end up in my emergency department nearly dead from an infection or other illness they likely could have easily prevented with antibiotics or other meds.

Western: no it won’t, do surgery/ chemo/ drugs

Maybe it’s kind of a two steps forward, one back kind of process
