I think we tend to lift physicians up to God-like status when they are only humans with a lot of education under their belt. All that schooling does not automatically mean they are an expert or even good at their job. I prefer a physician who is an O.D. and looks at my body as a whole. Most O.D.s I have had are very accepting of alternative medicine in combination with traditional medicine and they listen to MY intuition with regard to my body. Let's face it, we are with our bodies 24/7 and are really the only ones who can feel when something is off. Absolutely hate when a Doctor tries to tell me that I am fine and just "imagining" things. I ended up getting anxiety attacks after a thyroidectomy...only to have a Dr. tell me that I could not possibly have anxieties because I had no more thyroid...and I needed to be on Anti-Depressants. First and last time I ever listened to a physician against my own instincts.
