Hackernews doesn't realize they are the 0.000001% of patients we see. I'd love for all my patients to make the lifestyle, diet and habit changes I recommend in addition to the medications I prescribe. The reality is that users here do not recognize the privilege they have in terms of money, agency and knowledge. The vast majority of people I see are barely scraping by and have very little time/effort/privilege to make the changes I would like them to undergo.
