The discussion in class made me consider my own relations with doctors and how I typically just accept what they tell me with out question.  I realized that I typically will trust my doctor to make the best decision for me because of their western medical knowledge.  Am I allowing the doctor's beliefs to affect my health because of this?  I don't know, but I feel that even without the ability of a doctor to remain neutral, they, for the most part, do not try to prescribe something to their patient that will hurt them or make them sicker.  I don't know what a doctor has to go through to remain neutral, but I think that going to a doctor means that you are putting your health in the hands of someone else.  Is it wrong to just trust that your doctor has your best interest in mind?
