    I feel like this tweet is conflating 2 different perspectives as the same thing. The doctor will have studied conditions and illnesses in aggregate while the individual experiences it personally on a daily basis. Conclusions drawn from both perspectives can contradict and both be true without invalidating the other. As a result, I don’t see either as justified in using there perspective to disqualify the others.

    I feel both sides could benefit from taking a more nuanced view of things and more openly listen to one another. I know that’s an ideal and is not reflected in many people’s experience, sadly, but wanted to highlight that no one need be wrong in this situation.
