Why should I trust what doctors tell me about their drugs, when they get their info from meta-analyses, and those are controlled by the drug companies?

Do you think that patients sometimes have a point when they don't trust medical solutions?

There was an item on the news the other day about sodium valproate, a drug used for epilepsy, and how it caused birth defects. They showed women who were never warned of the birth defects, so they took the drug due to their doctors' advice, and ended up with children with debilitating disabilities. And it's not like valproate is the only harmful medical "treatment" to have ever happened. There was thalidomide, and there were lobotomies.

Of course medicine can do very good things, obviously. Much of the time, medical treatments can be extremely beneficial to the patient. But if a patient wants to go and read the scientific literature for themselves on the internet for a certain treatment, I definitely understand why they want to do that. I think the attitude of "you shouldn't use Dr Google, you should just blindly trust what your qualified doctor says" is the wrong attitude.
