Thanks for your honest response, Gracie. A lot of people don't want to hear the "truth" sometimes, and somehow many people still want to deify doctors. BTW, my brother is a Neurologist, and he fits your profile to a "T". Just this past week, he and I had an argument about his perceived omniscience. I reminded him of a quote by Benjamin Franklin, that essentially said the most intelligent person is the one that realizes how little he/she knows. Too, there is also a lot of professional competition between specialists where the fields "overlap". Anyway, I am lucky enough that my Internist will at least listen to me, and help me to some degree when the others will not!
