    generally disagree with a lot of the assertions you wrote, but also irrelevant. ultimately when it comes to my (or anyone’s) health i want precision and specificity i don’t want corporate names/logos from a lazy idiot doctor.

      i haven’t much really asserted anything here it was more just an objective take on how american english and our pharamaceutical culture work. i concur it’s obtuse in many respects but that is how it works here, it wasn’t really an agree/disagree thing… unless you are trying to say american english doesn’t work like this and everyone doesn’t get along knowing what each other means just fine. i don’t think that’s the case bc you start talking about values after, which like. idk what to say man, i agree it’d be better if everyone was more precise in their communication. communication sciences are really complicated and that isn’t really a simple problem to solve in the abstract like that, tho.

      i don’t think doctors are idiots moreso they’re profit-motivated and exist in a system that is inherently hostile to the patient. imo that’s worse than being an idiot bc i’m of the opinion that pretty much every doctor and nurse involved in the american healthcare system is breaking their hippocratic oath by working in the exploitive system they do, in part explicitly bc of shit like this, but that’s another deal entirely.
