As someone who sees a lot of doctors the ones I really trust are the ones who say &quot;I don&#x27;t know&quot; or &quot;I&#x27;m not certain but...&quot;.<p>Given that my symptoms matched a host of things and its a 7 to 20 in 100,000 thing that only got caught because a good AE (ER) doc told me to forcefully request an MRI I&#x27;ve learnt which doctors to trust over time.<p>Also if you have a rare condition don&#x27;t expect your average doc to know much about it even my specialist (first one) wasn&#x27;t that up on the latest research (again unsurprising, they are concerned with hundreds of patients, I&#x27;m only concerned with one).<p>Doctors are generally excellent but they are not omniscient and the good ones own it.
