But also, there are a lot of asshole doctors who will doubt you even after you've done your homework and have a compelling argument.

Source: Was one of the ~140 people who caught whooping cough in California in 2008. I figured it out, four doctors didn't believe me.

(Yes, I was vaccinated. Turns out the effectiveness of some of the newer combined vaccines (DTaP vs DTP?) dropped off more quickly, but they didn't update the booster schedules, leading to the most recent outbreak)

And a lot of well-meaning doctors that apparently don't take the time to do things right. Have a family member with RA that was almost given an injection for another condition that is contraindicated in people with RA, and it would have happened had we not done the research online and spoken up ourselves.

Multiple times we have found ourselves being more well-informed than the doctors, and it seems things are only caught if we bring them up...
