You totally missed my point there, which was rebutting that patients "often know better", which is just plain crap.
- Mz 9y agoYou are "rebutting" things that haven't been said by anyone. And then insisting you are right. Here is what I actually said, which you intentionally misquoted and are now twisting into something else entirely: For some conditions, the patients themselves are often better informed than general MDs. Only actual specialists in the condition really know more
- inopinatus 9y agoAnd that is not so except for a very small minority of presentations. If you'd said "very occasionally" rather than "often" I might agree. Everyone else is simply pretending to a much higher level of expertise than they possess.
