This is absolutely /bullshit/.
That medical doctor doesn't even know how most of the medications work, or why!
If it was just about "health" a lot of things with our modern medical care would be different.

Isn't this what the years-long studies and rigorous state examination is for? How would they selecting medication, when they wouldn't know the mechanism of action?
Congrats, you just described mental healthcare.
And a bunchhhhh of other things.
You have state examination for other professions? We only have them for medical professions, laywers, criminal-related professions and teachers.
I think in most cases were the patient thinks he is smarter than the doctor, the latter already knows the argument, but also why it is wrong/more complicated. When something is understoodable by laymen, the doctor will be fine to understand it and better suited to judge it.
