AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT: Never mind the new CDC guidance; I'll keep masking indoors and you should too.

Which explains why I'll never trust a medical professional again. And I'm not alone; I've spoken with others in my neighborhood who've decided the same.

As I posited long ago, my doctor occupies about the same position in my personal economic hierarchy as my garage mechanic -- if my car is broken or not working properly, I'll take it in for diagnosis and repair. But decisions -- to maintain or not, to repair or not -- are mine.

And mine alone. I'll solicit advice if needed, I'll listen to advice if offered. But I will not accept control.
