personally, most of my experiences with docs are not good, and some are worse,, generally, i'm afraid the practice of medicine has gone off course... to support me, there is independent research which concludes that medical practice is the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S. ,, (after heart attacks and cancer)...

hence, my policy: always trust my own judgement over that of some stranger; always be informed and in charge of my own health care; never settle for the wrong advice or treatment; know a good lawyer or three~! Gus
