    I don’t really get the point of people who dispute medical diagnoses - “No sweetie, you don’t have type 2 diabetes, ThE MeDiCaL EsTaBLiShMeNt…” like, shut the hell up you vapid cretin.

      Because ppl lie and exaggerate things. Also the distrust of the medical and pharmaceutical companies was created by the over diagnosing and over prescribing of medication that created the opioid crisis. And lets not forget the conveyor belt type of medical care that stresses get them in and get them out that results in misdiagnosing and a general lack of care.

      No I’m not a conspiracy theorist and 9 times out of 10 a doctor is usually right but let’s not act like the distrust of American medical services isn’t deserved.
