Doctors swore an oath not to harm us. When I think back to my childhood doctors who fought to make me well, I want to sob. Respect for Life is the keystone.

I don't trust any doctor anymore and probably never will. I'm at the age (67) that I don't trust them to do anything to make me well or extend my life. I don't trust them to see any value in a life if that person isn't under 65 and still working. Most have caved to the "let's kill the old people" idea that we aren't worth the cost of saving. I hate that the medical doctors have joined the greedy insurance companies in thinking that we don't have any value but that's how I see it now that I'm that age and COVID happened.

The corporate buyout of medical practices has had terrible consequences for level of care. In the last six months:

After the practice sold, walked out of a dental cleaning, before it even began. Ripped the bib off, stood up and said; “We're done here. I do not allow anyone to talk to me that way you have. You're rude”. The new hygienist was absolutely rude. The practice, before being sold, had 4 full time hygienists. All are gone and down to one who is part time. Either patients no longer need dental care, or all moved away to other practices. Bad sign.

Walked out of semi-annual dermatologist appointment. Showed up only find that I was scheduled to be seen by some new doctor. The facility went corporate buyout. New paperwork in the lobby was the first clue. My former doctor left after the buyout. I sat through the paperwork in the lobby and got all the way to the examining room without wearing a mask, when Ms. Kren Burkenstock demanded I wear a mask, to which I replied that I don't wear masks and besides...how are you going to examine my face with the mask?...”OH WE tell you when to take it off and put it on”. My reply was quick and sharp; “I don't allow anyone to talk to me this way. We're done here”.

Corporate buyouts have even corrupted the veterinary industry. My get on his knees and love my dog examinations vet left after the practice went corporate. Now, EVERY dog is required blood work before simple procedures according to “corporate policy” (READ:RACK UP THE BILL). Found a smaller practice, but even they are trying to rack up needless expenses. For instance, they said that fuzzface needs dental cleaning, which she gets every 6 months. Vet wanted $1300...blood work, anesthesia exam room fees...blah blah blah. I told here that I have this scheduled with a mobile service that comes to my house $215 for dental and nails (90# dog) no anesthesia. The vet blew a gasket. Rude.

With online searches, most patients know what the problems are before we arrive in the waiting room. The trend is to drug you up and pushed by the hottie harmaceutical reps parading to the doctors like drug pushers they are and after you're drugged up, you're offered no exit strategy off the drugs and more drugs are pushed on you to counteract the poisons they sold you in the first place.

Medical “care” has become a racket and the victims of this RICO scheme are the patients.

...that is all

I'm 65, and also will never again trust a medical person.

Unless we have some real Nuremberg type trials for Crimes Against Humanity, and all the doctors who pushed the vaccines, after observing all the adverse effects, and KNOWINGLY continued pushing the Clot Shots on more and younger people, are tried, convicted, and punished ... I will never trust the medical profession. How could we?

As for Leftist media and politicians, I'd vote to feed those sorts to the hogs and alligators.

For me they’ve assumed the level of lawyers and used car salesmen unless proven otherwise...

I am happy to say that my doctors are not like those you describe.
