The second exists because: 1) Physicians still need to realize they are also humans - maybe special skilled ones, but still humans - whose decisions would be better for society if taken using others knowledge. 2) Common people need to understand that physicians are humans, so why would they know everything by themselves. So, there may be other possibilities before prescribing you expensive new drugs, or putting you five days in a hospital for a surgical procedure - I know a guy who discovered there would be alternatives for his three spinal surgeries: too late, he is now financially broken and 3 years incapable of working...

For example, our specialists are worried in solving problems, helping to diagnosis for cure.
