Doctors can be wrong (they have been for me multiple times) and I feel a certain sense of responsibility for learning about and understanding what is going on in my body. Now, if I had a panel of doctors at the ready to answer my questions and explain things to me in the detail I want, that would be great. But that seems unrealistic. So we do need something to bridge the gap between the fallible doctor we very occasionally get to talk to and our otherwise deep ignorance of our own health and bodies.
