PhD is a doctor of philosophy, but it's a generic term applied to any discipline when you reach a certain level of study. So you can have a PhD in music or physics or linguistics or whatever
Speaking as a third year medical student, no an MD does not mean a PhD in medicine. An MD is a degree completely separate from any other degrees given as PhDs.
i've never hired a plumber because I can always just do my research and do it myself. I just google it and watch it done on YouTube, and fix it. Now, I can't take a shit in my house anymore, but hey I've saved a bundle over the years.

The Onion? I hope...
If Meryl Dorey likes it, that's bad. She's public enemy #1 to public health in Australia. I don't understand why they don't just deport her already.
So... Just because they have all the training doesn't make them automatically correct all the time. I've had hospital doctors tell me to take medicine I can't take due to a hereditary condition. I've also had hospital doctors who took several days trying to figure out why my blood pressure wasn't going down after I delivered my daughter because they thought I had preeclampsia but I didn't and I've had high blood pressure since high school. They kept assuming things because they *should* be a certain way but they never actually really looked at my chart. All that is to say you still have to research yourself because they make mistakes too.
Yeah, well they trained to specialize in the human body. They're a lot more correct than you or I would be just by simple research that we wanted to do on some symptoms.
They can ask other doctors for help because sometimes they haven't seen what you have before and others have. Just because they aren't always right doesn't mean you should do it yourself.
1. You should have told the doctor that you can't take the meds. They wouldn't know if you don't tell them, everyone has different reaction to every medicine beside, things would be better if you cooperate.
2. If your blood pressure are high above normal (120/80) on daily basis, even going as far as above 130 means there is something quite not right going on with you. Hypertension should be treated and you can't really blame them for trying to lower it down and save you from further complication.
Anyway of course doctors are not always right, never truly right even. But they are doing their best to help people and I believe that effort should at least be acknowledged.

I've been on blood pressure meds for more than a decade and I did tell that doctor that I couldn't take those medicines because of that and he ignored me and told me I was wrong. I have regular doctors that are awesome but the hospital doctors I've had to deal with have been poor for the most part. Some have been great but others have been so sure of themselves that they refused to listen to me because I was just a patient and therefore know nothing.

Bitch, if there wasn't instructions on a dildo, you wouldn't know how to use it
