I know doctors. I've dated doctors. They are just people, with biases and flaws and opinions.

You go to a GP with your specialist issue and you may as well be asking a very expensive and busy receptionist what number you should be calling. Or worse, you get an egomaniac who just can't say the words "I don't know much about that" and instead says "you shouldn't be doing that".

Not sure what the purpose of this rant was, fyi

I mean I agree. Doctor's are only human and they make mistakes. That's why malpractice insurance is a thing.

But I guess it depends on the scenario someone says it to you. If you're asking a layperson about something that could potentially be deadly the answer 100 percent should be talk to your doctor.

Facebook? Twitter? GameFAQs? Plenty of people there who know everything and love to tell you what you should do.

I think TC is saying that if you go to your family Dr with your neuro/psych/etc issue you're wasting your time.

I think the goal of that phrase is to just say "that's a better option than asking internet weirdos what they think".
