And if we do understand it, that doesn't mean a doctor knows about it.
My father was in the hospital for two days with vertigo. He was so frustrated waiting for specialists to show up that he checked himself out.
I was pissed - he's notoriously awful at listening to medical advice. I said, "Did you even wait for them to try the Epley maneuver?"[1] Turns out they didn't even suggest it. I only know about it because my grandmother has it done regularly for her vertigo. And it seems to have solved his problem.
I'm sure it's already in the threads, but that recalls the old joke, "What do you call a medical student with a D average?"
"Doctor."
