One can't have it both ways. Either you are your best doctor or the PCP you go to is your best doctor.

Although I agree with a lot of what you said I think you might be reading something into his statement that he didn't say.

Perhaps he should have said: "Each person has the potential to be their own best doctor."

Since I didn't attend his seminar, I took the statement at face value, in that everyone should be their own advocate. Nothing more, nothing less. Not everyone pursues their health issues vigorously. Should people in general do all they can to better their health, and the answer is yes!!!

It is a combination of both. No one knows their body better then they do, but one has to allow the knowledge of a trained doctor for input and solutions.

It's funny how people sense, when they are about to expire. My old doctor told me that my mother was going to live a long time and she was 93.

She didn't agree and passed the next day. In this case, she knew better.
