I could tell you many personal experiences where doctors told me wrong information.
For example about 30 years ago I had psoriasis. I went to 2 doctors, both of them highly regarded, and was told by both, "You'll never get rid of it."

I got rid of it.

it would take a day for me to recount how many similar experiences I had and others' I know had.
you only have to look at the fact that
"Medical errors are 3rd cause of US deaths" acc to researchers.

Only Heart Disease And Cancer Exceed Medical Errors As Causes Of Death : Shots - Health News : NPR

Yes they are humans. Every single human is wrong at different points in their lives.
And so what? That's a characteristic of humans, not "doctors". Autoimmune diseases generally do not go away, that's medical knowledge. Yours did (if that's what it was). Good for you.

I have had some horrible doctors........... they do not represent all doctors.

I learned how to spot the ones who are not right for me, and got ones that are.

Anytime I start thinking that ALL of any group is wrong, then I know it's me.

Too bad I couldn't SPOT the surgeon who botched me up in 2010. Life has dramatically changed and not for the better.

I know they are human....

DO NO HARM....where did that come from?
