When I was very young I thought my parents were crazy for warning against ever going in hospital. They believed that that's where people went to die. Here I find out in my *cough golden years that my parents were completely correct.
I wish my parents were like yours. Mine were way too trusting of the medical industry. I’m pretty sure my mom had munchausens by proxy too.
A lot of times I assume it's the television shows that show doctors straightening out patients, propaganda bolstering the big pharma industry.
The same thing happens with how TV shows depict interactions with police/ all levels of law enforcement...I call it "projection of reality".
