Without medical training one has a lot of unknown unknowns when researching issues oneself. Talking things through with a doctor can often help to get aware of medical knowledge that’s relevant.
Yeha, it’s easy to get discouraged though when initial doctors clearly know less than you and only know of the most common diagnoses which very much don’t seem to apply. Hence my advice to keep looking for doctors who do know more.
My point was that even if you know more specific facts then the doctor you are talking to, he might still be able to tell you something useful.
When it comes to asking people to get knowledge total amount of knowledge isn’t the only thing that matters. It matters a great deal that they have different knowledge then you.
