This frustrates me. Right in this very thread are many accounts of people saying that doctors won’t listen to you and will do only the minimal amount of work possible to get you out of their office, and that you should do your own research. Then like 3 comments down are posts like yours, sarcastically putting down people sharing results of that same research.

So which one is it?

Perhaps we are reading different comments, but the parent doesn't read as sarcasm to me. Something else to be aware of is that the people responding here as doctors do not make up even a small fraction of a percentage of the practising doctors, so although there is lots of interesting information being shared, using that as a way of refuting people's complaints is not exactly useful.
