you, with a medical problem, walk into a room....
(posted into politics directly, since surely some asshat will immediately make it about politics instead of answering a simple question)
So, you, with a medical problem, walk into a room that has a doctor in it, with 8 years of schooling and 25 years of experience, and also has another guy in it who is just a regular guy.
Who do you ask for advice about your medical problem?
Simple question. Let's see everyone's simple answer. :)
