Roger -Posting 1 The one person that I trust is my wife I know it said to explore more than family. My wife is my best friend also. She has always told me when I am not doing something to my full potential. She is the smartest person I know; she is going for her RN she got one year left, and she is a pharmacy manager for Walgreens. I want to say she does have a conflict of interest, seeing that I'm her husband, but she does not show it cause she lets me have it when I don't give 100 percent. We got married in 2020 her uncle is also one of my best friends I have known my wife for like 25 years. Some people did not want what was best for me in life I can say they are no longer in my life. When I stopped checking in on people, I knew who I wanted to be a part cause they always checked on me when I went quiet. I used to know a lot of people now i only talk to like 3 and they always want to see me at my best.

I find my doctor's opinion to watch my diet, due to diabetes, a good "appeal to authority" as the evidence from test results and data collected as expert and reliable. When I look at my prescriptions I read the notices, and decide this is being taken with some risk, yet overall I want to improve my health. Therefore, my evaluation is correct, because I even considered the secondary opinions noted on my prescription receipts.

Why do you trust them?

It is typically a good reason to trust the doctors, I may inquire to ask if there are other experts supporting the advice, and this would be relevant to my health and wellness. We all apparently would desire Wellness. So, when the doctor advises me to exercise more, I trust the doctor's approach to compliment my overall health.

Are they knowledgeable?

The authorities of doctors, physicians, and nurses are knowledgeable, and they consider my conditions. The facts are these medical providers look at "my chart", family history, then they may perform some sort of risk analysis as well. This would support the claims of diagnosis and prognosis. It appears the doctor's have a good commitment to their positions and respect patient (me) feedback.

Do they have conflicts of interest?

In most cases they are not conflicting in interests at the clinic, unless religious beliefs may pose an argument. Conflicts in medicine are not uncommon according to Forefront News. Studys have shown that most physicians attempt to accommodate patients with respect to their faith. This may entail negotiating, persuasion and appeal to other authorities.

The people in my life I trust the most are my mom, my best friend, another good friend, and my therapist. I trust them because these are the people who know me the best and have been through a lot with me. Each of them are knowledgeable in their own way and I go to them for different situations that best fit their ability to help. For example, I primarily go to my therapist for mental health, or I go to my good friend for relationship advice, and so on. There have been times of conflict of interest but the vast majority of the time, we can differentiate between what SOUNDS like a good idea and actually IS a good idea. As with every relationship, there have been times of let down, on both sides, however, we understand that is how life works at times and we work through it. That's one of the most important things to have in a relationship, is being able to forgive. As for people who are not trustworthy, the first that comes to mind is my dad, suffice it to say that he has taught me a lot about how not to become the person I don't want to be. When it comes to what this means about authorities in my life, it tells me that as important as authority figures are, they are not infallible. I've spent many years working on myself and my relationships and currently I believe I finally have a pretty good setup when it comes to these.
