Of course. And risk vs. reward is the debate everyone should be having, both on an individual and a collective level. But that involves acknowledging that there is some level of inherent risk. It's the "100% safe guaranteed no matter what" rhetoric that causes people to mistrust doctors.

Interestingly, all the doctors I know are notorious about hedging their answers when it comes to any medical knowledge. Every procedure carries risk; every assumption could always use more research. Except this one thing.
