Based on my extensive experience with doctors and the extensive experience of many others that I know they sure can.
- Retric 4y agoI am not saying they have to be completely up to date, just that they must keep up with many advancements because they can fail these tests. That said you can read up on all the latest research for a condition because you don’t care about all the other research. Doctors can’t get away with such a limited focus.
- cjbgkagh 4y agoI mostly see specialists and even there they’re consistently out of date. I get that not everyone can be a top tier researcher and many doctors have a business to run, but once we reach the limit of their knowledge I’d much rather hear “I don’t know” than “that’s all anyone knows.” Doctors to me are a minor inconvenience to prescription medication.
