Most doctors are incompetent.

Then next time you are seriously injured or are having severe chest pain, why don't you call a faith healer or a massage therapist?

After several years of dealing with multiple doctors, my attitude now is that I'll go to a doctor for any obvious problem, such as a bone sticking out of my leg or some such thing, but going to a doctor when you have a non-obvious problem WITHOUT doing the research to diagnose yourself first is a waste of time. The doctor will most likely reach for the easiest diagnosis even if he has to ignore half your symptoms to do so, and will prescribe you medication that either does nothing, or makes the problem worse.
