Again...This would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Again, you have to go with your gut instinct. I remember once years (over 25 years ago) when I was told by an opthamologist that I had glaucoma and had to get treatment immediately! At the time I was wearing contact lenses. I had went to him on the recommendation of my regular eye doctor because one of my eyes was irritated and I couldn't wear my contact lens. I noted that the opthamologist had a sign in his office "PAYMENT MUST BE MADE BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE. That was my first clue. I asked my regular doctor what was the matter with my eye. He said "you have a cold in your eye." I asked him "What will happen if I don't take the (other doctor's) advice?" He said "That cold will go away eventually" and indeed it did. I DIDN'T HAVE GLAUCOMA. Then there was the incident about six years ago when the doctor at the VA hospital wanted to subject me to the pen with a camera up my penis to check for bladder cancer. He insisted because there was blood in my urine. I told him "That was EIGHT months ago and the night before I passed my kidney stone." He said "You should still be checked for bladder cancer." I demurred which did not make them too happy. They brought in another doctor who INSISTED that I take the procedure. I declined. Six weeks later I heard a report that 49 men at the VA hospitals were infected with the HIV virus from that same instrument (pen with a camera that they stick up your penis to check for bladder cancer) because of an unclean instrument. Moral of these stories, don't always believe the doctors. If their advice doesn't make sense or sound right, question it. Life is a crap shoot. Go with your gut feeling. That said, none of us get out alive anyway. But don't just knee jerk reflex every time a doctor gives advice. Weigh it.
