I don't know how strongly I can express my agreement with this. I am not an all-out "doctors are kooks" type, but the ease with which kook-types can become doctors seems too high. I have had several bad experiences with doctors being fundamentally unscientific or ignoring what I'm actually saying or recommending treatments without logic/evidence. They are of course great if you have something simple and common like a broken leg but they are not special because they wear white coats. They don't have to get 100% on exams, they don't have to stay up to date with the literature, they don't have to be of a scientific mindset. It's a nicely paid job. There are budget/time pressures on what they can do with the endless stream of ill people.
