IMO one cause for misunderstanding is the medical profession's

taught early to project a mystique of confidence and certainty so as
to reassure the patient and family that all is under control. And
that is certainly worthwhile. But I do believe it leads to
disappointment when reality sets in.

One friend of mine describes the WCG syndrome,
White Coated God. That's when the MD think's
s/he is infallible.

You should see the GTP's (Google Trained Patients). They
always have far more experience than we do....
Doctors don't think they are doGs, because most don't believe
doGs even exist. Avoid any that do. They are just trying to blame
someone else for their incompetence.
