How a doctor messing up made me distrustful from birth of the entire medical establishment

I was born a premie, which is in and of itself not that big of a deal. Rather the way the doctor "treated" me turned a small temporary problem into a life long problem. Originally I was born prematurely, and some minor NICU work had to be done to extract excess placenta from my body. The doctor, arrogantly decided to ventilate me with 100% pure oxygen for a very long time which caused necrotic scarring of my organs in my upper body. No one told the doctor 100% oxygen will burn through your organs in no time, must have skipped that class on that day ....

I had to look up what i had decades later, only to find out that not only is no cure required, the disease goes away ON ITS OWN with ZERO intervention. Had the doctors literally let me go home the same day, i would have recovered with no issues. Sure I would have gotten sick here and there, but what kid doesnt? The horrors of not being able to run a massive, gargantuan insurance bill for someone's tragedy.

Honestly, as far as i can tell the doctors probably thought screw it, this kid going to die so whats billing them for some extra bullshit, amirite? Thinking back, 100% sure they were using me to run secret experiments, figuring out neo natal thresholds on what a baby can consume/ingest before going code blue.

Then the post mess up boogeyman bullshit was always entertaining. They told me one thing after another ... it was all wrong. They told me i was improving from the meds (never took them), then they switched meds because the last one was recalled for cardiac problems(still didn't take them), than they claimed i only had a few years left to live (Still kicking just fine), than they said i would live a long life (that i agree with), until they just gave up and admitted they had no idea what this condition i had was or how it functioned. Then they claimed it was a miracle (ignorance in your own field is not a miracle) because my condition was in remission, EVEN THOUGH THATS WHAT THE DAMN MEDICAL BOOK SAYS IT DOES. Did none off these idiots read the damn thing?!

The inconsistencies between the medical community was so vast, i assumed even from when i was an early teenager most of them had no clue what they were talking about. And the answers they give you are always pruned by legal, so its always do this but we cant tell you what its gonna do, or what we ourselves would do, but trust us, we think this is your best bet.

It makes me angry beyond belief to see just how much damage the medical community does to people, and than they turn around and claim immunity from their own faults, and blame you for being the non compliant patient. The doctor can do no wrong, it must be the patient! /s

Had a family member go blind due to being ventilated as a newborn. I don't trust doctors at all.

that's the problem with doctors in general. They think in all their arrogance they know it better than nature. Nature cures a lot more often than doctors, that's what I'd like to state.

I broke my back some years ago and my doctor just told me I had a facet sprain.

Took me a year of fucking around to find out I could get my own records from an X-ray about a week after the accident to find I had a fractured vertebrae and he knew it. Looked me straight in the eyes and said I had “nothing but natural degeneration”..

With absolutely no other reason he just chose to lie to me to cover for being so wrong in the initial diagnosis.

Still a long story but he actually won out and insurance never paid out because they chose to ignore the actual X-ray and go with the doctors report on his visit with me to go over those X-ray results. Just because they could

I went to a lawyer and even produced that X-ray with a fractured vertebrae and the doctors visit where he just lies and says it shows no injury. As well as a chiropractor X-ray from 2 years earlier showing no fracture. And the lawyer said if we were in the US he’d be able to fuck that doctor by days end without a sweat, but in Canada nobody can sue doctors successfully no matter what. And insurance companies have full authority to simply not acknowledge certain information, and you can’t dispute it.

Break 2 legs at work in Canada, and if the workers compensation makes a typo and says you just broke 1, that’s it.
IF they chose to, from that moment forward they have full immunity from dispute if they continue to ignore that you broke another leg.
You’re only allowed to dispute decisions they’ve made and the things they’ve acknowledged in them. You can not dispute that they’ve forgotten or neglected something else.

Isn’t medical malpractice still the #1 or #2 leading cause of death in America?

After COVID there’s literally nothing more insulting to intelligence then a doctor with confidence in its trade.
