What is one thing that Medical Specialists would never do in their practice?

They would never rush to surgery unless absolutely medically necessary, and some would never take anti-inflammatory pain medication long-term due to its potential side effects.

What is the concern with taking anti-inflammatory pain medication like Advil or Al long-term?

It can wear away at the protective lining of your stomach, causing ulcers and other complications, if taken indefinitely without stopping.

Why would a podiatrist never put their feet on the dashboard while riding in a car?

Because the airbag is located under the dashboard and could cause injury if deployed while their feet are in that position.
