Oh, this is an easy one...

I have a friend who *is* a Doctor. He tells me that Med schools *train* Doctors to Bullshit if they don't know for certain. They teach them that their best guess is better than anyone elses surety. And so, lay folk such as we who happen to have lived in our bodies all our lives are basically told that "Doctor knows best" even those times when he may be far off the mark.

From my personal experience of 20 years of on going health problems from having CFIDS, I can't tell you how many screwy diagnoses I have gotten...but each and every one of those Doctors stood behind their diagnosis as if it had been handed down from God, and was immutable truth. I'd love to sit them all down in a room and watch them duke it out for King of the Hill.

Now, I am not saying that all Doctors are full of shit. But just one who is can make a person seriously re-think medicine as a whole.
