It appalled me that so little help and information was available about how to find the best healthcare. Our whole system is rigged against doing that, even in cases of devastating illness. We actually believe that all doctors are the same, so that finding another doctor, or another medical option, probably wouldn't matter. But it matters a great deal. Doctors aren't all the same.
Medical science is a moving target.
What is impossible today may be possible tomorrow. No doctor knows everything there is to know, and there can be a tremendous difference in ability from doctor to doctor. No one assumes all teachers are the same, all hair dressers, or all plumbers. Yet somehow we believe that about doctors. That might be true if you're being treated for something like strep throat or the flu.
