Why Doctors Prescribe Corticosteroids For Common Ailments?
Why are doctors so uneducated about the real effects treating with corticosteroids has on the body and why they should only use them to treat a life threatening condition. People are debilitated and dying from being prescribed steroids for common ailments.

Hi,
Please do make up your mind as to whether you are for or against doctors prescribing steroids. You have mentioned in your first sentence, that "doctors seem uneducated" about their ill effects, and in the rest of the sentence you mention that "why should they use them to treat 'only life threatening conditions'?". This is a contradiction in statement. Either you wish doctors used steroids in treating mild illnesses or they did not do so. You cannot have both events. Please make up your mind about the ideal situation that you would wish, and state your question more clearly and I'll answer it. (There cannot be 2 contradictory answers from me).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
