Your personal anecdote is very touching. Please, listen to your doctor! The guy on TV, the guy who doesn't know you personally? Don't listen to him.

I've never had a doctor that knew me personally, I think that'd be weird. I don't want them to, fuck that, in fact I want them to know as little about me as possible, be objective. I move every few years for work and rarely visit them anyways, but why wouldn't I listen to someone who has spent decades studying something that I know very little about? Isn't that really just suggesting not to respect and listen to your elders?
Broadly speaking, where else would you seek advice other than from people who spent their lives studying the thing you're asking about? Is it really that threatening to you to be comfortable assuming you don't have the answer?
