"We're not smarter than our doctors" Discuss...

I'm starting a thread on this because I am curious. It came up originally on the vaccination thread, but I thought it deserved its own thread.

I'm smart enough to be a doctor, but I have no desire.

Also, I love my doctor, but if he says something that makes me question his knowledge regarding the subject at hand I will second guess him and/or dig deeper on my own until I am satisfied he is correct.

Doctors are wrong all the time because they are human just like us. You are doing yourself and your family a huge disservice if you blindly follow your doctor's advice "just because" he/she went to medical school.
