> medical training taught me to question everything... Certainly this has value but the ability to question everything in an intelligent way is not generalizable. By that I mean that the training in med school includes a huge context of medical knowledge not just this method. The danger and error that I see is that many docs think the method is sufficient without out the context. > There's certainly value in artificial confidence in medicine as it applies to most patients... I get it and understand the need. However, in my experience the eventual dupe of the con is not the patient but the doc. I have seen it often enough that it is my default assumption though I have met some good people who happen to be doctors who have not fallen into that trap.
