"According to Pew research, the number of U.S. adults who place confidence in medical scientists to act in the best interests of the public declined from 40% in 2020 to 29% in 2022. A 2021 survey by the American Board of Internal medicine likewise found that one in six people—including physicians—no longer trust doctors, and one in three do not trust the healthcare system. Almost half the population does not trust our public health agencies to act in our interests.
Doctors are leaving the profession in droves, prompting worries of a worsening physician shortage. According to the American Medical Association, one in five doctors plan to leave medicine in the next two years and one in three plan to reduce their work hours in the next year."
I would think any TRUE physicians are greatly compromised and discouraged working in this vapid "corporate system" which really only 'morphed' over the past 25 years. I can vividly remember upon returning to my home state of PA from CA in October of 2020 how a corporation named "Wellspan" had bought MOST of the private practices AND hospitals in my part of PA (which is the York/Lancaster/Harrisburg areas)....and I was only living in CA for TWO YEARS. The "changeover" was VERY rapid but had 'probably' been 'in the works' for decades. Whose "money" was behind all of this is what I'd like to know...guess I'll have to do some online 'research'!!

Hmm. Must be due to climate change, no??
