In article , Eric R Snow says...

... Another time I brought in an article to show to the
anesthesiologist. She had already seen the studies and was
implementing the findings. She told me it was "Old News". She had been
using the newer method for almost a year. But she was only slightly
amused, not insulted, by me bringing in the article. ...

I think that it's probably a lot tougher to be a doctor nowadays
with the information available to lay people on the internet.
Two edged sword though, folks like you show up and demonstrate
a fairly deep knowledge of a particular subject in the field.

I also think that really good doctors can do a pretty rapid,
accurate on-the-fly assesment of the smarts quotient in the
patient, so they can set the discussion level at the correct
starting point.
