High trust society vs low / zero trust society.

Sadly, most Western countries are hellbent on degenerating to low trust societies.

Seems like an odd place to put this comment when second opinions are essentially low trust behavior which is seen as a good.

    Which confirms my point.

    > which is seen as a good

    It absolutely is not. As a patient, I shouldn't have to bear the mental load and financial expenses of having to get second or third opinions because apparently, doctors can't do that on their own or make sure they stay on top of academic research. And certainly not with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer.
