As far as I can tell ( and I avoid them if possible) that’s what they’ve always done. Maybe 50-60 years ago doctors tried to figure illnesses out. And,the old guys,if you can find one,are usually the best choice.

My grandfather was a doc 1930s-1960s, my dad was a doc (1950s-1980s. They were taught differently (& yes, I’m aware Rockefeller-pharma was already infiltrating the med school but that took a good while to take hold).
My dad made my mom swear she would not allow us to get the polio shot while he was stationed in Guam w/ the USAF in late 50s or early 60s. We do not have the arm scar most others of our vintage have.
My memory of the arm scar was that it was a smallpox vaccine. In the 50s and,60s we lined up in the school yard for the “sugar cube” ,which was the “live” polio vaccine. In fact,they were still giving the “live” vaccine via drops in babies mouths,when my son was born…I believe they have gone back to the killed version,now, as people have been GETTING Polio from the live vaxx..I would not give my baby the “live” polio ( this was 1987) ,so,had my doctor order the “killed” version. Which he did. It was unfortunate that version was injected. My mother was anti-vaxx, and convinced me to rethink the whole thing. Those days,you could easily forge the little card we had to bring to enroll in school. Now,there’s no longer THAT option. In California,children need something like 70 different shots to be able to enter school. Opting out is FAR more difficult…mostly,impossible. I feel so bad for my young friends, with school age children…

No doubt there have always been,and,still are, some good doctors. I’m guessing your people were good ones.
