And my Rosh Yeshiva (who is not Modern Orthodox, and is a very well known and respected Rosh Yeshiva) told me that is a big problem in today’s world – as he put it, “Some people won’t blow their nose without asking their Rav if it’s ok.”

He said if you have a question that pertains to halachah, hashkafah, or something else religion-related, you ask your Rav. If you have a medical question, you ask a doctor. If you have a financial question, ask an accountant. Rabbonim are not experts in everything.
