What would you do if you went to a doctor and within the first half of your meeting, he made two major fallacies of argument? (namely, hasty generalization and faulty causality) Shouldn't a trustworthy doctor not make major errors in the logic of cause and effect in matters of their specialization???

what is your experience with your doctors? am I out of line? is it uncommon for doctors to be rather obtuse and simple minded? do I just have bad luck?

I usualy only had bad expirences with them as a child. They wanted to dope me up and drug me instead of getting to the root of the problem. I had a severe problem with my joints but no doctor would have it looked into because it was "because of the autism". I may have been verbal but I still didn't have a voice.

Can you be more specific?
