Great post.
I can't begin to divulge the misadventures I have suffered at the hands of, not a few doctors, but the medical system.
I am quite unwell and find I must engage them to a degree in order to stay in this world, but I engage with caution too, for the very same reason.
I have been nothing short if abused, neglected, treated less than human and also not believed to the point that my life has been at risked several times. I'm quite sure that if not for my back ground as a registered nurse, my own research and my staunch self advocacy I would be dead today at the hands of the "health" system.
But I must let it go. They are a great brotherhood of arrogance that is untouchable and schooled in entitlement and judgement and the "professional distance" that discourages empathy, before they graduate.
When I meet one who treats me with a grain of respect I feel obliged to thank them for their common courtesy and am sometimes close to tears.
Lastly, A medical trial is considered a success if a medication is 50% effective for the malady it is being prescribed for. Roughly the same figure as a placebo effect. An industry with such low expectations on their own dangerous treatments have no right to judge any alternative treatment that doesn't cause harm. You could crack a raw egg on your head and take a nudie run in the rain and if you feel better for it, your treatment and application has more credit than many drugs and interventions.
I'm so pleased you didn't link them. Zero engagement and promotion is best with these personality types.

I'm right there with you.
Of the good doctors I've had, they have nearly all thanked me for the research I've done on my own behalf, because, when they listened to me, if nothing else I helped to eliminate numerous dead ends.
I've also had doctors thank me for teaching them about effective natural remedies, including at least a couple who started recommending them to their patients. That feels good.
I used to joke that the medical profession was trying to kill me, but it's really no joke, because it's too close to the truth.
I'm lucky as heck to still be here, and as healthy as I am, but a big part of that is that I've been fortunate (and obstinate) enough to be able to refuse the majority of pharmaceutical drugs I've been prescribed.
I currently take zero pharmaceutical drugs, which is to say the least highly unusual for a woman of sixty, especially in America.
Go #naturalmedicine!!!
