Abdominal pain is notoriously hard to diagnose. Always get a second opinion if it's serious.



Doctors seem to be unwilling to admit that they don't know something.


True enough. Doctors unafraid to admit not knowing something inevitably impress me the most (to the point of staying their patient even after moving to the other side of the city):

* A young GP who pulled out a medical book in front of me to consult it.

* My dentist who told me he’ll perform the extraction if I want him to, but that his colleague specializes in it and will do a better job.
