Even for most slightly non-trivial problems, physicians are often wrong in either diagnosis or treatment plans. In fact I've found physicians be some of the worst debuggers/problem solvers that I've ever encountered.

(2016)"]]>It seems like most doctors and your average physical therapist, lack the knowledge on what can be achived with a conservative approach. Just google what knee injury Connor McDavid (Arguably the best and most dynamic player in the NHL) had, and the sucessful non-surgical rehab protocal he went through. Most of his doctors were pressuring him to go the surgical route.
