What's more, an outdated doctor or health professional spreads misinformation among those who trust him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprised, because some people's comfort zone is so strong, and their desire not to leave it and protect it - it generates a kind of \u201csense of security\u201d - that they remain out of date and refute reality and advances, even without solid and\/or credible arguments, even if this sometimes makes them look like \u201cidiots\u201d in this process of denying reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1\ufe0f\u20e3 - For example, no one questions the validity of Quantum Physics anymore, which is proven, scientifically based and necessary in a world of lasers and nuclear bombs.
