Most doctors, unfortunately, are pharmacological resellers. They get a list of medicines for symptoms and they prescribe it. A surprisingly high percentage of them will prescribe you these medicines regardless of your symptoms or condition.

Doctors who have a specialized and sophisticated area of expertise do exist, but they are 1. very expensive and 2. rare and between.

tl;dr: most doctors don’t give a flying f— about you or your condition.
