New Doc: Don’t confuse your Google search with my 4 years of Medical School Patient: Don’t confuse your 4 years of medical school with my 20 years of living with the fucking disease
Doctors have a duty to respect good & concise patient research. Patients should stop tolerating willful ignorance among hubristic physicians. That said, the self-researching patient has a duty to communicate their findings clearly & concisely, using evidence of medical quality.

Most doctors take 1-2 classes in nutrition. They're trained in the old SAD paradigm. And they don't keep up with new research. It's a fairly low bar for patients to be more knowledgeable when it comes to how they should eat.

For me the main concept is that I am the owner of my health, not my doctor. The second concept is that doctors have huge student loans, expensive machines to pay off, staff payroll. They won't always make decisions in your financial favor. Don't be a chump.

Ah yes, what I call “sophomorons” - people who drastically overestimate their judgment on a subject based on middling formal training and self-regarding credentialism.
