The point is not that medical professionals have all the answers, the point is they have more answers than you do, and have better experience and resources available to them to seek answers they do not currently have.
Individual medical professionals making mistakes does not give you the excuse to ignore their vastly superior skills at handling medical situations.
If you don't like your doctor, find another one, do not attempt treatment on your own. If you do so, you are putting the people you love and care about in incredible danger, to the point where you may have your children taken away from you, and rightly so.
It is the height of stupidity to think you know better than the entire medical profession on any topic, no matter how much you've researched said topic.
