Do you ever wonder why a doctors license says " license to practice"? LOL
My theory is that doctors have the equipment to do a fairly good diagnosis of some things, and they are ok for setting broken bones, but that's about all I trust them for (but I still keep a close eye on them and MY medical records).
I used to be in the medical field and I know what goes on... so I would never trust one for treatment unless I double check EVERYTHING they say.
Hubby has great faith in doctors and trusts them totally. So far I've discovered a doctor giving hubby the wrong meds 6 times! If I wouldn't have caught the mistakes, hubby would be 6' under right now (and the death certificate would say "natural causes").
