Man, I am *really* sick of being talked down to by "medical professionals" -- yes, you went through 15 years of school or whatever, I'm sure you're very, very smart, but I think I can figure out for myself if I have a frickin' cold or not. People can fix their own homes, they can fix their own cars, but when they want to fix something minor that's wrong with themselves, everybody throws their hands up and runs to the doctor. I'm not saying you should try to give yourself stitches or set your own broken bones, but in the analogy above, it's like you can't even change your own oil.

I don't mean to rant, but the lengths our society is going to to stigmatize people who fend for themselves are really starting to piss me off.
