Why I Have Lost Faith in my Doctor and the Health System By Brian Simpson

This is just a personal view and I am not offering health or medical advice. If you want that you know who to see. But for me, I have lost faith in my doctor. The pushing of the Covid vaxxes, and shrilling for Big Pharma, was the last straw, but it has been coming for some time. Mistakes, due to rushing to get as many patients through as possible, with little time to seriously address issues; that finalised it. One GP prescribed a power anti-depressant, when my condition was some sort of skin infection; I researched the drug and in astonishment threw the script in the bin.

 I now tend not to go to the GP unless something serious happens; hopefully not for a while, but, who knows, life is from heart beat to heart beat. I use Dr Google, and think out problems myself, as far as possible. It is far from ideal, and I am not recommending it, merely reporting on what I believe and do. I feel anxiety thinking about going to the clinics; the money grabbing nature of the reception staff makes me despair about how low medicine has gone. I would suppose that the name Hippocrates is all Greek to most modern doctors. Just my opinion.

“I went for a check-up in the fall, and the nurse asked me if I was interested in a Covid vaccination. If I had any questions I was to ask the doctor when he arrived. So I did. I asked somewhat searchingly, “What are your feelings about the vaccine with all that’s happened and all we found out in the past year?” 

“Well, “ he responded with a straight face, “from all the medical research papers I have read, the vaccines are safe and effective.” 

I sat in dumbfounded silence. At a bare minimum, he should know at least not to use that phrase. 

Why again are we wearing masks when we are in the doctor’s office? They don’t work. 

Then there are the endless emails from my health care provider promoting the vaccine for everyone: adults, children, compromised or not, comorbidities or not. There is no reference to any potential qualifiers. Everyone should get it. 

Have they not been paying attention?

Here’s where my head is at. 

In the last ten years, health care expenses have risen dramatically, almost tripling. Yes, the health of my family is the most important thing to me. But now I question the advice that I’m getting.

Like my dad with the car mechanics, now, every time I get advice or a prescription from the doctor, I have to look it up myself. This goes beyond a second opinion. And it goes beyond what’s even possible in the case of car problems or construction problems. For those problems, if I’m moderately lucky, I’ll find someone on the Internet who made that repair and follow their advice.

Prescription drugs? Not so easy. The information is there on the Internet, but it’s often contradictory, and sometimes nothing matches what your doctor said. Then there’s the sheer magnitude of prescription drugs available.

Do it yourself? Impossible. Trust the government to police the pharmaceutical companies? Impossible. We’ve seen the incest there. 

There is only one solution. It’s the same answer as it was for my father: trust your doctor.

A simple message to doctors and nurses: Our lives are better when we trust you. But right now, many of us are hesitant; we have been burned by the Covid nonsense in the last three years. Our loved ones have suffered, and we don’t see common sense from the medical establishment.

Many of you stood up in the past three years, putting your careers on the line for the truth and the health of your patients. Thank you. 

Many of you have laid low, promoted your medical organization’s message, even if you had misgivings. Maybe you trusted the government and Big Pharma too much. 

Here’s what we need from you:

• Critical regard for pharmaceutical products – you can’t just accept the word of the company hawking the product, or the FDA.
• Clear and open communication with your patients – if you don’t know something, say so. If you don’t trust something, say it louder.
• Critical regard for your own medical organization – we all know they have a message they want to promote. You must separate yourself to retain medical integrity.
• Above all, treat your patient as an individual – there are no general treatments, the same for everyone. Each person is unique, and depends on you for singular focused treatment.

All our lives are better if we can trust our doctors.”
