I find it peculiar that some medical professionals haven't changed their views on these novel medical products one bit, even as new evidence emerges. This rigidity reminds me of past medical catastrophes like thalidomide and Vioxx. As these disasters unfolded, many doctors and pharmacists defended these harmful drugs until the last minute, despite growing evidence of harm.

This isn't about agreeing with my perspective; it's about the essence of science, which is open-mindedness and adaptability. In the face of new evidence, we must be willing to reconsider our positions. It's concerning when professionals are so fixed in their thinking that they cannot acknowledge potential mistakes.

Trusting your doctor is important, but make sure they have earned that trust by demonstrating a willingness to stay updated and consider new information. Blind trust can be dangerous, as history has shown us.

I've had the privilege of speaking with some excellent doctors on the Healthy & Awake Podcast. Even among them, there are varying opinions, but what they all share is an open mind and adaptable thinking. These are the qualities that make a healthcare provider truly trustworthy.

What experiences have you had with medical professionals who were rigid in their views? How do you ensure that your healthcare providers are trustworthy and open-minded?
