Yeah, knowledge of the future being available and free will are not compatible.

I agree. Same applies to knowledge of the future not being available. Hehe.

Will the bodies ever be found?
Will I lose a patient because of an error of mine?
Will that witness ever come forward?

If there is a question that I would rather never know then I would prefer not to find out.

I will reiterate. I stand by my insistence that it is absolutely certain that if you know something of the future then it cannot change due to your knowledge even if you think it would. There's a logically valid argument for it.
Knowledge=K
Truth= T
Person=P
K implies T
P has K of a future event
Therefore future event must be true
And here is an explanation for why a person 'changing the future' due to their 'knowledge' of it and thereby 'doing something different to what they knew they were going to do' is nonsensical:
K implies T
P has K of a future event
P does something different that 'changes future event'
Therefore P's K of future invent didn't imply T
Therefore P didn't have K of future event
