It's all nostalgia now but years ago people trusted their doctors. Doctors used to be independent and care for their patients not controlled by the government, HMOs or insurance companies.
Both my parents were hardcore smokers and I had bad asthma as a kid. My doctor was so caring and spent so much time with me- this just would not happen today.

Both of my parents trusted whatever their Dr. tossed. I agree, they grew up when the Dr. was also a friend. Even I remember the family Dr. making a house call and sitting and talking with his patient on the front porch. Now, they work for a paycheck or a kick back. Finding one that isn't in the pocketbook of pharma, insurance companies or the government is next to impossible. I'm sure there are still some Dr.'s that would love to treat patients with the best medicine and advice they can but if they do? There goes their licence.

I remember how it was. Doctors weren't perfect, but they could do their best for their patients as they saw it.
There were a lot of charlatans too though and they pushed vaccines for profit.
Indeed. We (patients in general) were so naive.
