I don’t trust doctors. It’s not to say there ain’t some good ones, but on a general level, no, I wouldn’t trust ’em at all.

Richards’ remark frames distrust of medical authority as a matter of lived experience rather than ideology. By conceding that “there ain’t some good ones” while rejecting doctors “on a general level,” he distinguishes individual competence from the institution of medicine, implying that systems, incentives, or professional culture can make practitioners unreliable even when some are skilled. The blunt, colloquial phrasing reinforces a persona built on skepticism toward official expertise and a preference for self-reliance. In a broader cultural sense, the quote taps into a recurring rock-and-roll narrative: survival through instinct and autonomy, coupled with suspicion of establishments that claim to manage risk or health on one’s behalf.
