I changed my mind from “I barely know anything in medicine / biology / biochem / biotech and should listen to people trained in medicine”, to “I barely know anything in medicine / biology / biochem / biotech but can become more competent in specific areas than people trained in medicine with not a lot of effort”.
I previously had imposter syndrome. I now know much better where the edges of medical knowledge are, and in particular where the edges of the average doctor’s medical knowledge are. The bar is less high than I thought, by a substantial margin.

This is sadly true
