Doctors are biased too, that's the problem. Often times, knowing a lot about something will bias you even more because you fail to acknowledge or accept what you do NOT know or what conflicts with what you THINK you know.
- tomohawk 7y agoEverybody's biased, and I've certainly met my share of biased doctors. If you have a specific complaint, each doctor brings their toolbag of golden hammers that they know about and rarely has the ability to look beyond it. It's one of the challenges of being a patient to wade through that. The FDA isn't really going to be very helpful with this, and they labor under the additional burden of being much more subject to politics. Sure, they may stop the obvious quackery, but remember that general anesthesia used to be considered quackery, as did prescribing antibiotics for stomach ulcers.
