A good doctor tells you what, but also why.

I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another’s company and aid in consultation. A doctor who cannot take out your appendix properly will recommend to you a doctor who will be unable to remove your tonsils with success.

I ask doctors questions all the time, they never have the answers and never research to have the answer next time i see them, except one young white male doctor, he will have input next time we speak. Its a job for most a way of life for a few.
