Oh yeah, I have been there for a long time now. Just mention FDA warnings about medications or well known side effects to see just how deeply ignorant doctors are...
I once asked my optometrist about a study done which results showed correlation between nearsightedness and a lack of natural sunlight exposure. His response was something along the lines of "Well.. just wear your sunglasses when out in full sun."
Interesting. I wonder if it has something to do with eye muscles relaxing more in low light environments causing a long term change in the shape of the eye.
Kind of like the correlation between prescription strength and how long people have been wearing glasses for.
Then again it would be hard to differentiate between the natural changes due to muscular entropy.
I suppose there could be a long term study involving light therapy or something.

I did that once, apparently the medication they gave me was very known for giving.... heart attacks. They still prescribed it and when people tell them to prescribe something else, they give. you ... another medication that also gives you heart attacks. Just said screw it, and stopped taking the meds completely, stil not dead, and feel just fine
My friend is a urologist, and I had to convince him to look at the black box warning, which he had no idea there was one, on the medication he routinely prescribed.

Excellent doctoring on your part, GritD2!
