I think of it like our justice system. All doctors are idiots until proven otherwise. But then, until recently, I had a really bad track record with them, including one doc who told me my allergy to Novocaine wasn't possible, then proceeded to inject me with it!
I am glad to hear you are better today. And yes, these virtual friends are LIFESAVERS!
