Partially, you are right, however please do not be under a delusion that most doctors know what they are doing if they can just get hold of you and have a time for the medical examination.Modern medicine is far from perfect and still very unwise.I am not that sure if the future generations will laugh our therapies like we do the ones used in the middle age. With exemption of dentists and surgeons, most fields may offer you a temporary relief but on the other hand for e.g. shorten your life or 'sell' you diabetes.
Have you ever taken antibiotics ? Did you know which of the antibiotics would work for you the best at that time? ...Do not worry your doctor did not know that either unless you had an antibiogram done (which I doubt) :) .What's worse, even that, would not guarantee that was the right therapy (problem : in vivo vs in vitro) . Medicine and pharmaceuticals nowadays become too large businesses to remain honest ...
