Doctors make mistakes too, they're average people too. Should we go with our gut on medical decisions?
At what point does someone stop becoming "average people" for us to think that our gut doesn't outsmart them?
Lets not forget that "average people" are commonly barely better than animals in emergency situations. Look at how much training it takes to ensure a building full of people don't trample each other to death in the event of a building emergency.
There's a very wide gulf between being ultimately responsible for your own safety and assuming that your immediate, uneducated gut reactions are more informed than professionals with training.
