I've never trusted them. My mom took us to an Indian medicine man when we were kids (feather, not dot) and only to the 'men in white coats' when she couldn't get us to Chief TwoTrees or it was something that needed stitches or a cast. She was forced to vaccinate us for school. She didn't like it but didn't fight too hard because everyone around us said it was fine. She regrets not fighting harder. I do have a doctor but only because my boyfriend insists and I can get him to order blood work to be covered by insurance. I can order my own blood work here but it gets expensive over time. Plus he was willing to toss fake diagnoses on me so I could get the metformin I had been taking for years covered by insurance (taking it for hives/autoimmune issues). He seems to get a kick out of me but man the handful of scripts he gives my bf is nuts. There's only so much of an argument I can make. At least he doesn't say I'm a hypochondriac and prescribe psych drugs. I actually feel bad for him. He's so insanely programmed. I'm just glad he's not one of the dothead docs I have to deal with at work.
