Recent JAMA survey: trust in physicians & hospitals plummeted during covid, from 72% in 2020 to 40% in 2024. Four themes emerged: financial motives over patient care; poor quality of care & negligence; undue influence of external agencies & agendas; concerns about discrimination & bias.

This survey study examines changes in US adults’ trust in physicians and hospitals over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and the association between this trust and health-related behaviors.

“In our time, political speech and writing are largely a defence of the indefensible… Political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and cloudy vagueness.”
--George Orwell, Politics & the English Language
...
Two of the examples Orwell gives are:
"Defenceless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this is called pacification…
"People are imprisoned for years without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination of unreliable elements."
...
Why, then, do politicians use doublespeak? “Such phraseology is needed,” Orwell concludes, “if one wants to name things without calling up mental pictures of them…”

Medicine will continue to improve over the next fifty years—new cures, better surgical techniques, therapies we haven’t yet imagined. But I hope that the biggest advances will emerge in our ability to accept medicine’s limitations. Death represents the unsurpassable horizon against which we practice medicine. The futile attempt to defeat death through biomedical science will only result in undermining our humanity.
