I think anyone who ever came down with a mystery disease has their own despair inducing stories about doctors. Negligence and ignorance seem to be the default mode most doctors operate in. But who can blame them? The average doctor probably has direct contact with 100-200 patients a week. How are you supposed to keep up empathy, curiosity and energy with those numbers?
- exmadscientist 4y agoYou're saying, basically, that doctors can be effective for nontrivial care if they get a good night's sleep and then have only you to deal with. I'm saying that even if you do that, many are going to be worthless. Look, I've actually gotten one fired before. And blocked at least one premed from reaching med school at all. Plenty of doctors are great people. Many... are not.
