Perhaps it's a bit like the current health care culture. These days, there are so many medical options, and the individual is expected to research all of them, not just rely on zir doctor to tell zim what to do.
When you're sick and weak and frightened, the notion that you have to research your condition, and even then you might miss something, is daunting. If it's your kid, it's even worse. If they don't get better, it becomes your fault.
And our art/writing feels like our offspring, in so many ways.
