One time a friend took his daughter to the pediatrician for something and he found out they gave her the flu shot.

I long ago lost my "trust" in the medical field. I know some good people in it, but far too many people do little to no research and/or are paid shills for pharma.

Simple rules:

• Never go unless it's a last resort.
• Never take any meds without first seeing the side affects/what's in them/etc. I probably only take about a 1/5 of the stuff they tell me to and maybe two to three times a year take one OTC med for headache.
• If the visit is less than 5 minutes, ending in a prescription, they probably have zero clue as to what's actually wrong with you.
