In this episode, I examine the complex relationship between patients and modern medicine, focusing on the tension between prescribed treatments and natural remedies through the lens of my patient, Matthew. His reluctance to take medications for high blood pressure and cholesterol underscores the dangers of misinformation surrounding these treatments.
