I promise you that while a cardiologist does not actually diagnose you for lung cancer or something similar, they have much more background than their specialty. Of course there are specialists, and of course there are varying degrees of quality of doctors.

But the great thing about doctors is this - if they don't know they REFER you to a specialist in that area. So you will get somebody who knows, and is knowledgeable.

But thanks for the lesson on different doctor types.
