Do you trust your doctors' advice?

Or do you think they care more about business than your health?Do you trust your doctors' advice?
Well doctors are just like every one eles,whether they think so or not!


They make bad calls and get lazy.


I think a its 50, 50


You have to listen to your body.


You are your own best Doctor!!!Do you trust your doctors' advice?
Frankly - no, I don't. My family doctor is of a specific religion and I feel this is reflected in his 'treatment' of, shall we say the female members of this family. There is a distinct difference in his attitude towards my husband and son vs myself and daughters. Also - I fail to see the medical reason for 'come back in 3 days if you don't feel better' this is clearly a business decision. What he means is 'come back in 3 days so I can double bill you for the same diagnosis'.


Thankfully I have a specialist doctor as well and rely heavily on his 'advice'. This doctor I do trust - but like other answers have said - Doctors are only human.
I trust my doctor - to me he is a friend as well as my doctor. I generally think doctors genuinely care about their patients - any neglect could have severe consequences, and the blame may be placed on them - so they have to be careful.


When it comes to my health if I'm unsure I get a second opinion, or I'll discuss the issue with my GP who sometimes refers me to see a specialist.
I've not been to a doctor since I was a kid. If I get sick, or whatever I just look up on the internet and I can find a lot of advice thier and FREE (although a doctor is free for me, here too) and do whatever I need.





Plus the internet is 24/7 and can be done at home, whist it's more agro with a doctor.
Yes usually. And sometimes she recommends me seeing a specialist or someone for a second opinion. I really like that. Trust is important with your doctor.
I do usually, but they are only human. If you are unsure get a second opinion.
I trust my doctor because my doctor said to keep my back srait and I would grow taller and it works!!!
duh


y wouldn't you
Not all the time
