Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | Mistrust of Physicians

Host: Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram Nanney


Topic: A grateful public regarded doctors as health care heroes during the COVID 19 pandemic, and many were literally heroes, some of whom died caring for sick and dying patients. Yet here we are 5 years later finding that public trust in physicians is at an all time low. Why the decline? Why are people increasingly disregarding physician’s advice and going to social media for, at best, anecdotal medical information? Today on Relatively Speaking we will tackle this to try to understand how to be an active and educated participant in your health care.
