No one is right all the time about everything - but I assume you trust your doctor’s diagnosis over some random in the street/

Actually no I don't. All my doctor wants to do is prescribe me numerous tablets based on the rather shady 5 minute 'telephone consultation' that is the norm nowadays. I haven't
seen a doctor in a year - in fact I'm close to telling the practice to get stuffed and simply use the hospital casualty dept. instead
I guess you could also call me an expert in 'not believing everything an expert says', although I've never published any papers on it
