[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is an issue of whether a doctor is "smarter" (that is a sort of arrogant way to look at it!) I think it is a matter of being in control of your own treatment. Doctors are a health resource. You get as much info as you can out of them, second opinions if you need them, balance it with your own research, your conversations with your insurance coverage, and YOU make the decision that is best for you and your family. If you make major health decisions based on one doctor's opinion, you can't assume it's what is best. There are too many variables. And it is not their job to know everything - that is why they specialize - and they do not really know about the finances - you need to talk to the people who specialize in that complex topic separately.
