If you don’t know how to research your problem and you don’t know how to figure out the lingo, then you probably get into this trap of feeling intimidated by the medical profession. I hear it all the time. Patients assume doctors are omnipotent and they know everything there is to know about the universe. And I think that’s a dangerous thing for people who are uninformed. It’s a terrible indictment of the patient-physician relationship.

Doctors know how to keep dead people alive.

Anything after that, question what they're doing.

[Alas Babylon!]

Doctors know how to keep dead people alive.

Well, actually, they know how to keep alive people from being dead. Otherwise, they're zombie masters! ;-)
