Wow!   Those are some pretty harsh criticisms of the state of medicine. 
 But why save all your cannon for physicians?  After all, THEY aren't 
really the problem - advancing technology is the problem.  And those 
advances are all around us.  So much so that a lot of experts "really 
don't know the effects" of what they are doing.  Let's slam dentists 
while we're at it.  And auto mechanics.  How many grease monkeys are a 
whiz with computers?  And that's what all our new trucks use to run with 
these days.  Add to the problem all the jerks who want to scam you with 
pseudo-science, because they know that you *don't* know, and you'll see 
your world is full of technological land mines.

The prudent course (an antiquated concept done away with by our legal 
system) is to use good, common sense (another commodity in damn short 
supply these days) when dealing with any "expert".  Get other opinions. 
 Weigh all the facts you are given.  Then use those experts as you see 
fit (after all, YOU are paying them, not the other way around).  So 
whether it's colic (my vet recommended apple cider vinegar 15 years ago 
because she saw it work for some horses), or shoeing (changing angles 
will NOT guarantee your horse can work sound for 50 miles), or the 
latest fad in horse training, think things through and make a decision 
with all the "expert" help you can get.

But make it YOUR decision.
