Is it common for a general practitioner to react this way?

Asked by Aster (20023points) March 21st, 2016

My GP, after allegedly reading my test results, knew I have elevated liver enzymes. I was very surprised when I received the results by mail. Next time I went in for an unrelated problem I said something about my “kidney enzymes” and he said, “no ; you have elevated liver enzymes.” I’m not even sure it’s “enzymes” is the right word so I’ll change it to “levels.” Anyway, he did not suggest one single drug, lifestyle change, vitamin or anything whatsoever. I don’t think he cared one bit. I’m thinking of buying milk thistle extract.
Was his not mentioning a cure or even initiating a slight discussion normal?
