It seems like a lot could depend on what the science was when our doctors went to school. (It wouldn't be the only issue in medicine for which this is the case.) My MD (who said the evidence is mixed and that I probably wasn't a candidate for progesterone supplement yet) is in her 30s. I recall that she performed my D&C using newer methods and also had quoted research from England on Rh factors, so I get the strong indication she is keeping up with the latest science. (Then again, she may not be immersed in conception and infertility science.) So basically, each health expert could be giving us all different answers based on different research and different experiences. [Paging RajahMD!]
The other thing is that underneath all that learning is particular styles. I have a way that I like to perform science and it is different than my bosses' methods or other people in lab. We've all been taught and know how to design experiments/interpret results, but we all have our own thought processes and flairs. What I find important is not the same as others even though we all are looking at the same data and have the same goals.
Medicine is as imperfect and open to interpretation sometimes as anything else in life. I think the key is finding a doctor who will talk to you and listen to your questions as much as you listen to them. My RE has never brushed off my concerns and has been more than willing to answer/discuss anything I like. I didn't push the progesterone issue, but I'm sure he would've entertained my thought process.
I'm listening to a Grand Rounds course right now and it's amazing. I've learned so much about doctors' thought processes and how there are so many ways to approach medicine. It's made me a better patient.
