Most doctors are trustworthy and reasonably smart people, but we’ve lost our ability to admit to others when we don’t always know the answer to every clinical question. In an effort to maintain a facade that we are subject matter experts, we’ve overstated evidence and presented educated opinions as facts. This has led to profound deterioration in the trust we’ve earned with our patients. Our handling of COVID is only one example. We overstated the evidence, presented theories as facts, and downplayed others’ concerns when they had valid questions. Unfortunately, earning that trust back seems like an insurmountable task.

Finally jumping on Nostr and like to start zapping posts. Can someone send me a small zap to test my wallet? This is all very new to me. Thanks! #plebchain
