How a blunder by a respected medical journal is fueling an anti-vaccine lie

5. It must be equally discouraging and maddening to deal with this prevailing mindset every day.

I am fairly sure that corporate intervention in medical care is a big contributor to this.

If you only have 15 minutes to give a patient the complete care they need, including detailed pros and cons, that leads to confusion.

If you only get to see the same doctor for, in some cases, less than a full year of care before there is a new white coat in the exam room, that leads to distrust.

How did we get here for the average patient?

I am lucky that years ago, I decided to avoid corporate medicine. I decided to go to a small local clinic owned by a doctor who chooses to live here and enjoy the things this region has to offer for their families off time.

I have been with him for over thirty years, and he continues to offer the best primary care. I still need to see a specialist, but they are always chosen with his input on their pros and cons.

In all fairness, I know that my former experience as a military medic makes our consultation more informative. Together, we make the decision about the direction of my healthcare.
