Doctors are what put me in this situation. People put too much faith in them.

While that may be true you are most likely going to need a doctor for your issue at hand. Good communication is always key. Research your diagnosis and educate yourself. Then you can have an informed discussion with the doctor about treatment options and choices. Best wishes!
