I have come to the conclusions most docs are idiots. I have two dogs and take them to veteranians and most of them are also idiots.Apparently most are smart in the sense they could read books and pass their tests and become docs and vets. But what most of the lack is the ability to do analytical thinking and figure out solutions. As a former computer programmer I was trained how to look for solutions to problems. I took my dog to a veterinarian years ago and he used to ask my my opinion!! I see the same problem in human medicine. and it's not just p-docs. I recently had am mri done on a painful hip and they discovered a torn muscle that will have to be surgically repaired. I've been complaining of this problem for over two years!! It took all this time and I finally told a doc I wanted an mri and they found the problem. What a bunch of idiots that I saw. I had to tell them what to do...
