Dr does not mean Right

I fucking hate doctors. The idiots. The plebs who got the title because they can figure out a multiple choice test, have a trust fund backing them, sucked the prof's dick or studied for hours without actually reading the words on the page.
THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!
Just because some yobo in a white coat comes in the room and introduces themselves as a doctor DOES NOT MEAN THEY KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!
Being a doctor does not mean they understand what is wrong with you. If you are at a tecahing hospital, often the staff doctors will send the residents who will send the junior residents who will send the med students if their's one swanning about, full of themselves because they got into med school and if they can survive the next 5 years or so of pure torture they will be bankrolling $300,000+ for the rest of their lives.
So please, people, take your health in your hands. You have the absolute right to ID the person coming into see you and the eternal right to ask for clarification when they say "I'm on the medical team/ I'm one of the Doctors." You want to speak to the person who makes the final decision which direction your care goes. There are too many idiots with the title of "Doctor" running around discrediting all the good, intelligent Drs actually working and treating Pts and not mincing around tripping over their own ego. Ask questions. Own your health and the care you receive.
