The professions of medicine and law are somewhat similar: they are expensive, often painful and we hope we feel better when the procedure is over than we did when we started. Suppose one day you went to the dentist for a filling and while you were there, you mentioned that you were scheduled for heart surgery the next week. If he told you that he could perform your bypass, would you take him up on the offer? In medicine, most people understand the idea that specializations exist and why. Medicine is a complex field and it makes sense to choose someone whose expertise relates to your particular problem. It’s not a question of whether your doctor knows what to do to fix your problem, but rather whether he knows what to do when things don’t go as planned
