Who Can I Trust????

Doctors and Medical Staff prescribe medicines

Sometimes, they are good for you

Sometimes, they are not

The side effect: could I afford the consequences?

How long should I be taking them?

A lifetime or temporary?

Doctors say, Everyone is different

Are Doctors like lawyers, too?

They make you feel fear if you refuse to take

certain Medications and Vaccinations

Am I their guinea pig?

I felt so betrayed, just like I would a trusted narcissist

It's all my fault because I trusted them to care

for my well-being.

WHO CAN I TRUST?

    Your gut & God make one heck of a team. Sadly many of these doctors feel as if they can walk on water and that your input doesn't matter. Great work on this piece!

  • I don't trust doctors at all because we are just business to them and all they care about is money. I'm so sorry this is happening to you 🥺

    My doctors are the same! Very good!

    This really taps into the confusion and trust issues around medicine! You’ve captured that feeling of being stuck between needing help and questioning if it’s worth it. Totally relatable!

    The cost of the medication alone will make you sick
