A heart specialist may very well tell an obese patient these things, but are they going to spend billable hours that insurance companies deny payment to dig deeper to ask questions and write referrals?

Ahh, I forgot the common vernacular doesn’t match what it actually means. I used it in this way: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/24103-holistic-doctor

Ah, as in integrative medicine.*


Because we fail to think of/treat things holistically, preferring a quick fix of targeting components. Specialized treatment has a place but it’s better to integrate it with holistic thinking, if not treatment.
