"I guess it's a case of listening to your own doctor who knows the whole situation, and hoping they know what they're doing."

That sums it up well.

I like my doctors because they always acknowledge what they don't know.

Maybe they only said they didn't know when I asked too many questions!

Haha, I ask a lot of questions too. When I know my written questions or issues are more than 3 or 4 things, I make a double appointment. Like you, I like it on the odd occasion my doctor says she has "reached the limit of my experience on this". Then I run to Dr google and she consults with her colleagues so we both come to the next appointment better informed. A doctor you can trust to have your best health interests at heart is everything.
