Medical ethics in the US are not and have never been great. A few decades ago, they were bad enough to intentionally infect patients with syphillus (sp?) without their knowledge or consent. Maybe a decade or two ago, doctors were bribed into over prescribing opiates and starting the opiate crisis.

No shit people don’t trust the medical establishment. They may act appropriately most of the time, but that just isn’t good enough to be trustworthy.
