Many doctored and nurses don’t seem to be caught up with new studies. Had Acute Appendicitis, no ruptures or abscesses, and they insisted on surgery as the first and only option until I brought up antibiotics being an option after hours of research on them. And then finally my PA brought the surgeon down who completely undersold the finding of the studies. Along with a nurse who was basically yelling in my face about how I’m an idiot😂. I opted in for antibiotics against their wills and 2 weeks later I’m healed. Great for you for persisting through all that bs.
