      I have repeatedly caught those “experts” contradicting their own statements during a diagnosis, a couple times in urgent care when a family member was in serious distress.

      It wasn’t intentional on their part, just an oversight, as it happens with all of us.

      I learned to carefully track statements/conditions/limits while diagnosing tech problems in team discussions under pressure. In that environment, anyone can call out a mistake or contradictory statements, as the goal is accurate diagnoses.

      Just because someone is an “expert”, doesn’t make them infallible.

      Additionally, it’s not for them to decide my course of treatment - it’s for them to help me understand the risks of different treatments, the likelihood of success, and we decide together.

      I aay this as having just gone through saying no to major surgery that the docs just assumed I would do.

      My body, my choice.
