Have been a drug rep for 15 years and can say that you are 100% correct.
The MD profession is no different that mechanic, plumber, insurance agent. Some are really good and talented, care about what they do and want to stay ahead of the curve as far as new therapies, medicines, etc. Others just want to get you in and out of their office as fast as they can so they can bill for a visit, put no thought into why they are giving you a certain medicine and many times are extremely burned out with being an MD.
If you ever have a serious diagnosis, always get a 2nd opinion.

You would never hire a mechanic, or plumber, that had the diagnostic accuracy of the average doctor. The human body is obviously more complex than household plumbing, but based on numerous studies that I am too lazy to find, there is huge room for improvement. Also based on numerous studies, your mechanic, plumber, and insurance agent are much more likely to listen to what you think your problem is, and this is important because patients are usually correct in knowing what their problem is.
