You know how it’s always easy to educate your colleagues when they make a sub-optimal architectural decisions that could bite them in the long run? How readily they accept your insight and proceed to rethink their mental models? No? Not even experienced engineers? Now imagine an average patient, like a mom with 7 kids that doesn’t speak English, or a 16 year old dad who smells intensely of pot. Vast majority of the patients are very different than our engineering bubbles, and doctors are humans who are trying their best. For people who are willing to have a deeper conversation, some doctors will engage more meaningfully. But most of the process for doctors is to give you instructions to follow, then when you report back, alter them, or proceed as before. Most people try the first thing doctor asked, and if it didn’t immediately work, change it themselves, and/or go to a new doctor. Then complain how they’ve been to 12 doctors and nobody helped, but then they stumbled on some YouTube guy who said to take 5000mg of vitamin C every 2 hours, and their back pain went away (hint: it went away on its own).
