The art is to know when to do what. I didn't write 'best to avoid all doctors under any circumstances'. I am just pissed by the people nowadays running to doctors with the slightest symptoms or tiniest wounds. If you have seen the movie Matrix, you know where this will end. Without evil robots.

I, too, am against "running to doctors with the slightest symptoms or tiniest wounds" on the grounds that it seems like a form of hypochondria, and can produce something like a Denial of Service attack, especially at Emergency rooms. But I'll acknowledge that some 'small' indications are, with appropiate context, worth a consult.
