11. As a breast cancer suvivor...
I have to say that I trust my doctor's 100% - that being said, I have run into some real jerks who wanted me to try some new experimental drugs for the cancer, thankfully I didn't take their advice. When I moved up to NC, I saw my new doctor at Duke Medical Center, who told me that if I would have taken the experimental drugs it wouldn't be the cancer that would have killed me, but those experimental drugs would have.

Unfortunately every profession has their weirdo's, my best advice to anyone who is sick, or newly diagnosed is to get as many opinions you can afford or that your insurance will cover. AND if you don't like a certain doctor, than DON'T use them, find one you like!
