Yep, this, my mom doesn’t trust doctors. Apparantly, according to her, doctors in PRC was corrupt and always try to extort as much money as possible by doing “unnecessary ‘treatments’”, according to her.
She told me that both my older brother and I were both C-Section and like she doubted if it was even necessary, she believed that the doctors were just trying to make extra money because surgery costed more… but she had no choice but go along with it… because she had no idea if the fetus (aka: me and my older brother) were at risk.
As for vaccines… government policy… I guess both the collectivist society and pressure from government
US Government definitely required vaccination records before giving us immigration visas…
Its kinda funny, does the currnt admin allow immigrants without vaccinations? Or make it stricter to make immigration harder?
Women who have been through childbirth have certainly earned the right to be skeptical of doctors/ medicine. Women are still being mistreated and discounted in hospitals today, especially women of color. You have to get lucky to get nurses and doctors who treat your body as worthy of care, and you as worthy of belief and autonomy.
