You've really captured the essence of the pretentious doctor with this comment. Bravo.

  Honestly, I'd prefer a doctor that could look at me and say "Sorry, but you shouldn't buy any more of my time." Being able to say when you can't do any more is probably the antithesis of arrogant doctors - what you really have to watch out for is a pseudo-quack that will send you off on increasingly strong medications with zero-approaching success rates without telling you!

    He has half a point: my first comment was more glib than it needed to be. But, yes, docs who take your money to pat you on the head rather than admit they can't help you aren't doing you any favors. Most docs are more ethical than that (and then get lambasted for "not wanting anything to do with you if they can't treat or diagnose you.")
