An expert can tell you things, but it doesn't mean its correct. It's up to you to double check the information or get a second opinion. You can take advice from an "expert", but they aren't all knowing. No one can be expected to know everything, as things change all the time.

Case in point, my friend went to the hospital with extreme stomach pain. The "Expert" told him to go back to school and that he was just wasting his time because he wanted to be out of school for the day and hang out with friends and he had seen it all the time. My friend.... the straight A student who has never missed a class in his life, who stays after class to work on assignments, and was working on becoming valedictorian. He went back to that same doctor 3 times in the following days and kept getting sent back home. He went to a different hospital, found out his appendix was about to burst.

My own doctor told me for years that I had Asthma and that I needed an inhaler. That doctor retired and I got a new doctor who sent me to get tested for sleep apnea, one of the tests is an Asthma test. They straight up told me that I never had Asthma based on the test results.
