I can relate to this. I feel that the chasm between the lay person and the MD has widened tremendously in our lifetimes (I'm in my 30s). This also, unfortunately has made the average patient be almost completely uninformed. They demand medication to cure their, self-inflicted, ills, or try to diagnose through Web MD. I for one will educate my children and will continue to educate myself to not require an MD on every occasion. But I know that I'm not an MD and I was not trained to diagnose. I'm glad you found doctors who could give you a correct diagnosis that you can lean on to help you through your own search for the truth. I feel this is the best solution at the end of the day, for patients and doctors to be partners. * My dad is an MD and my wife is a biological scientist which really puts me at an advantage.
