That sounds like a good, responsible, doctor. I probably wouldn't believe them if they were my doctor. I've been through a repaired Achilles and knee surgery and haven't gone to get the prescriptions filled for any of it. I don't trust any doctor anymore to give me something that is actually good for me - I suspect they're giving me something that's good for them.

I happen to have direct exposure to the medical industry at the practice level. I can tell you unequivocally that entire industry is compromised. Maybe you're a good doctor, and you have my best interests at heart, but you're in the minority, and your peers have ensured I won't be trusting you.
