Unlike software developers, doctors, in my experience(friends and docs I have gone to), don't seem to have the same open mind about things in their field. At least the one's I know. It might seem foreign to us because a lot of our job is to keep an open mind and constantly question the status quo. Doctors tend to dismiss things immediately and unless you push you won't even get them try something that is harmless. I started going to a primary care physician a decade ago that actually listened, didn't rush me and kept an open mind. He was much younger though. Safe to say though I still go to him. Other doctors young and old that I've been to have not been the same.
- OpieCunningham 6y agoThat is interesting. As a generality I’ve found software developers to be some of the least open minded people. Perhaps a small bit amongst themselves (though the endless disagreements indicate it’s a very small bit), but when interacting with anyone outside the industry regarding some aspect of the industry, open mindedness is essentially non-existent. Perhaps it is the same for doctors interacting with patients.
- dcow 6y agoThis is a general problem in any scenario where you have a high concentration of people with big egos...
