It shows you that doctors don’t know everything

No, they certainly don’t - I am currently caretaking my elderly folks & did the same for an elderly aunt & friend (both now deceased). I could write a small novel on all the things doctors don’t “know” or decisions that would have been made that were not in the best interests of the patiens, were it not for doing a lot of homework, reading up, research, etc. & being able to ask questions, discuss situations/conditions, & make truly INFORMED decisions. Most folks just go along with the docs ... especially the older ones who grew up in an era when the doc was the ‘authority’ & you did whatever they said. Anyway, I digress .... but medical care is often as good as you make it by being responsible for yourself & if you can, advocating for others who aren’t in condition, mentally or physically, to advocate for themselves.
