This can be applied to almost everything. Looking at average software developers around, I see people with 10 years of experience who have no idea how anything works, they just copy paste the same CRUD APIs for their whole career, never really learning anything, trying to understand, just coasting through corporate life. Half of people are worse than 'average' person, this applies to everything and it's especially evident with doctors. They'll just tell you to wait and see, take vitamins or straight out ignore you. They might not know any better, or just think they know everything, you never know because you're not an expert. As an example of this I highly recommend reading Wired's article on Lee Holloway.
