When my mother was pregnant with me her GP offered her Thalidomide.
Each generation of doctors believe they have reached the apotheosis of medical knowledge. But they just provide advice, which is just an opinion. Yes - an opinion hopefully based on very sound expertise and data. But doctors are human like everyone else, and that which used to be a sound procedure is sometimes found not to be and sound data sometimes turns out not to be.
PS: Do you reckon GPs in Queensland are giving their patients the same advice as GPs in NSW are giving to their patients? If yes, I have some cheap shares in a bridge I can sell you.
