Doctors don't know everything

In the old days, people used to listen to whatever the doctor told them without questioning it. These days, patients are a bit more skeptical due to the internet and the ease by which medical research can be done at the touch of a button. I am constantly reading medical records and it just amazes me how many time the initial diagnosis turns out to be wrong or how many times physicians disagree as to what is happening with the patient. Sometimes, the doctors are looking at the same exact objective information (e.g., MRI films) and come to very different conclusions, all of which impacts the type of treatment the patient receives. So if you see a doctor and feel unsure or uneasy about things, don't be shy in getting a 2nd (and if necessary) 3rd opinion.
