I bet most doctors have NO CLUE at all about what they prescribe.
They look at a patient. Ask some questions. Take a blood test. Input the info into a computer. Get a "diagnosis" and from there, they have the computer spit out what the prescription should be.
Then they go in to talk to the patient, acting like they know what they are talking about, when in fact they do not.
You have no idea how close you are to the truth. Clinical systems are using more and more automated clinical decision technology to "assist" doctors with what tests to give and diagnose.

Their goal is to eliminate the doctor altogether. Once people are trained to be comfortable interfacing with a robot, no more human docs.
Reminds me of the hospital scene in "Idiocracy".
