Well darkskies, here is another agreement for you. Many doctors are wankers, totally agreed. Why? Because they think they are always right... like how could they be wrong, their the doctor, where the patient. How could a patient know more than a doctor? How did a doctor know what they know? Reading. How do patients often know more than a doctor? They read more liberally across a wide variety of aspects relating to a topic.

Many doctors are literally blind to their own professions, because they get their degree, then forget about constand education, constant learning, instead they just bog down and "think" they know everything about everything, instead of actually learning everything they can about a topic. Sure, time consuming, but hey... their the one's that chose to be a doctor... why is it we end up having to know more than them?

Some are very good though, and do all these things and more. They make it their business to constantly learn, get as much information from all sides about a topic, see as many inputs as possible, and make informed decisions for themselves. If only more of these existed than the current state of affairs.
