"Experts" are wrong all the time. I have doctor who didnt even order my mri with iodine last week, because hes a fool. He didnt even know that was an option. He also didnt know ultrasound to find an injury was an option. I know more than this doctor on ligament tears and how to treat them at this point and thats supposed to be his job. This is just one example but I find new ones every week where "experts" in all fields have no clue what they're doing.
This obviously isnt to say all experts are not knowledgeable, but theres plenty who are not and often they are in charge. Thats why taking their opinion as ultimate truth without question is dangerous.
- Ansil849 5y agoYes, there are people who are shitty at their jobs. Again, this is a glib truism. There are shitty doctors and programmers as much as there are shitty waiters and binmen. > Thats why taking their opinion as ultimate truth without question is dangerous. Agree. Which is why I explicitly stated: > It doesn't mean you need to take what they say as gospel, so to speak, but it does mean that when the choice is to listen to 'random person on the internet' versus 'someone who has studied something for years and has made valued contributions to the field', the two-despite both having biases-are not on equal footing. I'm sorry that it sounds like you have a shitty doctor. The solution is to find a better one, not to renounce doctors.
