Joanna clearly meant that when you have more experience with the
profession out of a personal medical issue you may learn the pitfalls
of believing that doctors are mostly competent and enlarge your view
on the topic.
When it takes going to three or four doctors to find one who can diagnose a blood clot in the leg when the leg is turning blue as happened to a good friend of mine (and caused him hospitalization cause of their ineptitude and failure to catch it when it started), ain't it obvious? This friend of mine won an Oscar years back and he and his partner were horrified at what they were put through. They went from believers in the medical profession to a better to know more than the docs do position just to survive the medical practioners.
