Part of the problem with trust in the medical community is how inconsistent doctors themselves can seem.

I’m on my 6th doctor (2nd urologist) and finally I think I have a diagnosis for a long standing issue. Every doctor has a different opinion or way to treat what I have. Some of it is because the science is actively evolving. But a lot of it is because doctors themselves have their own opinions about the science based on their own anecdotal experiences treating patients.

Eventually I have to go with the doctors opinion that “feels right” to me.

I know vaccines fall in a seemingly “obvious” category, but when my experience is fairly typical, I can understand the frustration with being told to take the doctors opinion as gospel.
