Well they do have to take the hippocratic oath, and they're not all bad. But the OP's thoughts on privacy are definitely grounded in the real world and not made up. This scenario isn't too surprising given that about half the country still thinks the government should be allowed to write the rules on how software engineers design encryption protocols. I like to think the number of psychiatrists who consciously make stuff up are few, but yeah at the end of the day, even when you visit a doctor, you are the one who is most responsible for your own health. You alone decide whether to get a second opinion or ignore the doc altogether.
