Re: Do You Trust Doctors?

Not a chance. I hardly trust anyone, however, but doctors have given me good reason. The last time I went to my family doctor for something, I was prescribed what I later discovered to be massive doses of a highly addictive medication. I wasn't told to taper off or warned of the addictive effects. Once the medication ran out, I was mentally done with it but physically hooked. I ended up with acute cardiac disturbances accompanied by seizures, and spent the night in the ER. They had to give me other medication to counter-act the withdrawals, and the ER doctor was livid at what I was prescribed.

As a child my family doctor was my hero, but he has been in the process of retiring for years. I switched due to the inconvenience of booking an appointment months in advance.
