I have the exact same views as you on this. I've also experienced many, many years of consistent medical malpractice, to deleterious, life-ruining effects, so I had no choice but to take my health into my own hands and make rigorous determinations as to whether the doctors I would see were right or wrong.
While most people may start off as hypochondriacs (who hasn't been spooked by the prospect of cancer after reading about it), the more research you do, the more accurate you become and in recent years I've finally managed to become effective at discerning good doctors vs bad ones.
- balabaster 10y agoI never tended towards hypochondria. I do however have trust issues given the malpractice that I've witnessed over the years. I thank my lucky stars that I've never been directly on the receiving end of it. I'm firmly of the belief that we should treat our medical professionals as consultants and advisors, but we should be fully cognizant of our own health requirements.
