I don't think "good doctors" and "bad doctors" is really a good framing. I think the medical system sabotages the relationship between doctor and patient and creates incentives to spend the least amount of effort on any given patient. That isn't anyone's fault but if your diagnosis is off the beaten path, and especially if it looks like a common diagnosis but isn't that one, it can be incredibly difficult to get a doctor to take you seriously. I think people reacted strongly to your comment because they felt it was emblematic of a dismissive attitude they receive from doctors - regardless of how good a doctor may be. To help illustrate, here's a skit where a doctor satirizes this attitude: https://youtube.com/shorts/u_-a7pvFpsA https://youtube.com/shorts/u_-a7pvFpsA
