"Most medicine is complete bullshit, doctors have a specific set of protocols they have to follow to avoid mal practice."

I mostly agree with this. Most doctors are just reading off the Epic professional version of WebMD for most symptoms/conditions. It's especially important to do your own research and be your own advocate for any serious conditions so that you can ask the right questions, which sometimes snaps them out of the scripted response and consider other possibilities or concerns.
