I have had way to many serious mishaps from the time I had gallstones at 19 when it took 8 years and 10 docs to find what was causing my heart attack symptoms. And that's the start at 19. I'm I my 60 ... Could write a book.....
The older I get, the more impressed I am at how far some things in the medical field have come but I'm also surprised at how much they still do not know.
I think we (rightfully) expect more from doctors than they think we should. The good and bad about getting older is that you realize doctors aren't some know it all person, they are human and make mistakes BUT, those mistakes are costly and painful at times to their patients. I'll take a doctor that says "I don't know" and willing to help search for answers anytime over one that will diagnose a problem just to make you feel like they are doing something.
