I agree, & think a medics perceived expectation that patients can& #39;t/won& #39;t accept that the doctor may not know is more about medics preconceived ideas & expectations than patients.

Pretending either to know the answers when we don& #39;t or to have the arrogance to suggest the patients symptoms are unjustified are both far more harmful to the patient (and professional) than honestly acknowledging diagnostic anx management difficulty.
