If not the doctor, who will treat your condition? They may not be perfect, but then again who is 100% honest and godly? It's not that they're brainwashed, it's pharmaceutical companies pulling their strings. Not their fault. The best I'd do is visit my doctor and do whatever he tells me to do and take whatever he prescribes. Not that I am on long-term prescriptions anyway, despite being so unhealthy. Pdoc constantly changes meds, so I won't consider them "long-term prescription."
