No dip####, you don't know what the strategy pattern is.
As for doctors, seek a second opinion. Or a third opinion. I realize that can be difficult in the Canadian system.
Hey did you know in BC, naturopaths can write prescriptions?

So, first I said "a lot of aspects", not all. You don't think that for things like the actions of medications, results can be wildly different? There is no perfect say, antidepressant for everyone. And you don't know what is best for the patient until you try different ones.
Now, sure, there is most likely a scientific explanation, but we don't know or understand it at this point, so the
practice of prescribing medication can be less certain than can be discerned from our current knowledge.
And then you have surgeries, where individual physiology can mean combining your scientific knowledge with experience and perhaps creativity to make a surgery successful.
If there weren't some art to healthcare, outcomes would be a lot easier to predict.
