This highlights the importance of a second and third opinion as well.
As the joke goes, "what do you call the guy that graduated last in his class at medical school? Doctor."
Doctor's aren't machines, they're more like mechanics, they see a symptom, use their knowledge to make an educated guess essentially, and then work from there. If their knowledge is soft it's likely an incorrect diagnoses could just be exacerbated by incorrect treatment.
Get another opinion, and then another, the next problem is deciding on siding with consensus or outlier.
