Henry Precht told us Glenn Fellows his single word to describe the Middle East is distrust. His book cover even depicts it.
Diane Auer Jones presented us with an interesting salon on the current healthcare debate.
Can America's high percentages of specialist care (compared to other OECD countries) be partly attributed to patients' distrust of doctors? With our plethora of online self-diagnoses and over-medicated hypochondriacs, do patients' disbelief of doctors' diagnoses indicate distrust? Does finding a more favorable diagnosis from a Facebook advertisement render a reasonable cause to refute a medical opinion?
Have savvy, yet sometimes careless tv sitcom doctors wittled away at the trust patients invest in their doctors?
All too often we hear of friends anxious to investigate into second, third, even fourth opinions. If we truly trusted our physicians and their recommendations, would these healthcare steps be necessary?
