You say the doctors lied about you, so what did they lie about exactly?

We presume innocence in our legal system.

The bar for conviction is high, beyond a reasonable doubt.

The onus is not on the accused to prove that they didn't do the crime.

But in the court of public opinion, the alleged abusers are the ones making an accusation.

If you're going to claim a doctor falsely accused you of abuse, that's a serious claim that has serious impact.

Undermining public trust in doctors unnecessarily causes a myriad of problems that can escalate into a full-on public health crisis.

Measles outbreaks, anyone?

John was making some big claims about Dr. Sally Smith, and I was listening.

But I was also going to have some questions of my own.

People believe their eyes.

That's something that is so central to this topic because we do believe the people that we love when they're telling us something.

If we didn't, you could never make it through your day.

I'm Andrea Dunlop, and this is Nobody Should Believe Me.

If financial support is not an option, we'd love it if you could rate and review the show wherever you're listening or share it with a friend or two.

Or five, Nobody Should Believe Me is a proudly independent production.
