That's not what the senior colorectal doctor at the royal free told me last year.

Your best interest may differ from doctors best interest when treating you (not getting sued, following guidelines, getting paid for not rocking the boat)

So document yourself: medline is free, and with sci-hub, you can get the full versions of anything

EDIT: actually, no, don't document yourself. Ignorance is bliss. Why would I even care? After all, it's your life! And I care even less than your doctor, since we don't even have a contractual relationship (which you have with your doctor by virtue of paying him).

Yeh my amateur research is going to be better than their experience.
