Healthcare Survey

Martin · 3 years

I was cleaning out my email tonight and I saw that I had a survey from my healthcare provider. I'm one for filling out surveys, so I jumped in and started answering questions. And they were interesting.

All of them asked you to rate whether you:

  • Agree completely
  • Agree somewhat
  • Neither agree nor disagree
  • Disagree somewhat
  • Disagree completely

Pretty standard. But here are some of the questions they asked:

  • Prescription medications are the only remedies that I trust.
  • I always follow the advice of healthcare professionals; they are the experts.
  • I prefer home or natural remedies (acupuncture, eastern medicine, etc.) over pharmaceuticals.
  • I avoid vaccines for me and my family.
  • I would rather seek medical advice from my own personal research than from the doctor.

There were others that were a little more general, such as one asking whether you use CBD or THC to medicate, if going to the doctor gives you anxiety, etc. But I definitely feel like my provider is trying to feel out whether or not the respondents among its subscribers are turning away from modern medicine and embracing woo.

Man, am I sick of the anti-intellectual crowd. I answered a lot of questions with "Disagree completely".
