The doctor will know more, but they spend far less focus on it.  They are also biased to over prescribe medication (at least in the US) to an extreme extent.  The bias alone is reason to second guess all judgments.  (Really, go look into the over-medication of young children with off label prescriptions.  And part of the issue is that it isn&#x27;t just the doctor pushing for it, often the parents want a cure all pill as well.)
