**Why have so many patients lost trust in their doctors?** The most obvious things that have changed the perception of medicine over these last forty years include high profile cases of physician fraud, drug abuse, drug pushing, malfeasance, gross malpractice, even murder. What in the past was often hushed up, or discounted as highly unusual, have now become grist for the media mill. To say that physicians’ images have been tarnished by these instances would be an understatement. * Some patients feel that doctors are more focused on profit than care, viewing them as “businessmen first” * Physician advertising and corporate affiliations can reinforce this perception of medicine as a commercial enterprise See also: [Seriously: WHY Even BOTHER Seeing a DOCTOR?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVszhB_9W78) [Why Patients Don’t Trust Doctors Anymore 🩺 | Inside the Collapse of Modern Medicine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ8eR2YWx_0) The online meetings will use Microsoft Teams, which will work in a browser but will works better using the app, which you can download from: [Download Microsoft Teams Desktop and Mobile Apps | Microsoft Teams](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app) For a guide see: [Get started with Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/get-started-with-microsoft-teams-b98d533f-118e-4bae-bf44-3df2470c2b12)
