Public skepticism isn’t something doctors need to “cure,” write medical ethicists Isabelle Freiling, Nicole M. Krause and Dietram A. Scheufele in the American Medical Association Journal of Ethics.

Instead of being bullied or nudged, patients should be allowed to make their own informed decisions.
