>>14145838>stillrespect and trust for those cringey, mentally twisted nerds is somewhat of a new feature of society. trusting doctors is a fashion thats only about 90 years old. the conventional wisdom before the "trust the doctors" era was stuff like "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" a cliche that has doctor avoidance alluded to as an admirable life goal. in 1910, you'd have been more likely to ask your barber for medical assistance that you would to seek out a surgeon. that was the era of the mad scientist meme, doctors were all considered a bunch of scheming, ghoulish dr frankensteins back then and it was true, thats what they're really like, they're still like that today, but hollywood has pulled the wool over most people's eyes about it.
