I'm a doctor, and I'm trained to listen to you. I will ask you what you think is wrong. I will examine you and order tests. But also, I have a lot of training and will have my own suspicions based on my knowledge, information, and experience. I will encourage you to follow my advice. It's usually good advice because it is built on my experience, your involvement, and my knowledge. If I'm wrong, I admit it.
