Sometimes it is a lot better if they don't pretend to know more than they do. I was devastated when my neurologist fired me because CMT is progressive, there is NO treatment, and she doesn't do pain management, but I have since heard horror stories of multiple failed surgeries, therapies, etc. where the doctors wouldn't admit their limitations.
I have since come to appreciate her honestly and to question why some people with this condition have a whole team of specialists they see and presumably pay each year...
