I was dealing with this medical blindness frustration in 1999-2000 when I published the information on aromatase inhibitors - that antifungals given for vaginal yeast infections could cause miscarriages. Doctors, especially those involved in infertility treatments, just could not conceive that they could be causing the pregnancy losses of their patients. They responded with anger and hostility.
It was at that time, that J&J and Pfizer went after me.
Laura, see my comment above under Sassy. Yes, I used these words almost exactly. My doctor became angry and hostile with me in the middle of a conversation regarding my diagnose of "vaccine injury" which SHE diagnosed me with almost a year ago. Now she's changing her tune and completely back peddling.
I've noticed that it's the least competent doctors who get offended & defensive like this. The good & smart ones accept and consider new information without acting like their entire world is collapsing in on them.
This is also a trait to look for in a new doctor... if you ask questions or present additional evidence or disagree on a point, how do they react? Tells you most of what you need to know.

Damn!
I had no idea
Thank you for standing up for the truth and not backing down. That is practicing the art and science of a gifted medical doctor.
