Seriously, if most of what a med student learns when they're a freshman is already out of date and replaced with something else by the time they're in their fourth year, then how do I know any treatment I get now won't be proven to cause Koala Flu Pox Syndrome next year?
I seriously no longer trust doctors or dentists. It's not that I think they're bad. I just think they have no idea what they hell they're doing, and it sucks because I need medical attention from time to time, and I certainly am not stupid enough to think I can handle my own internal health, but I have yet to find someone I trust to diagnose or treat me when it comes to... anything.
And their shitty bedside manner isn't helping one bit. Either they're really friendly and nice and want you to like them and then botch something up (this is my body, not a fucking miss america pagent, sunshine), OR they'll do an okay job but treat you like a hunk of meat on a conveyor belt that needs to shut up, pay up, and stop wiggling.
Almost makes me glad I can't get insurance. Almost.
