Ha ha, you're right, they do want to feel superior and many drs consider themselves gods or simial, a higher power. The worst thing is when they try to explain medical stuff in a baby-language sense (or smart explains to stupid), like when our dr told mom that she had some tiiny little bug inside here that is nice and friendly, but can be killed if she wanted to.
I too thought that the EBV is/was a co-infection, but he completely disregarded it and said that it was left-over antibodies from a childhood infection. Even the internet source (how to interpret tests) said otherwise.
I feel that this is the beginning of something new, Im done with the docs and moving on. RHR plus next. Time to save the pennies!
