Its not just about LLM's being better, its about people not trusting DR any more: https://www.physiciansweekly.com/post/the-erosion-of-trust-i...

If we want to fault the article for anything it's that he didnt take that information and go get a 2nd opinion from someone who IS more informed.



Any medical-field-position that recommends homeopathic stuff is instantly in my "full of shit and not trustworthy on anything" list, and I'd go elsewhere immediately and file complaints anywhere I could. There's no excuse at all, they're either fools or scammers, and I want neither anywhere near my (or anyone else's) health.

That said, while I do see homeopathic stuff with that name, it's worth verifying that it isn't just a naming conflict. They're not always unique, particularly across countries, and Traumeel seems to be more of a brand than a specific thing.
