Problems are doctors are unlikely to "help" with, and are highly likely to make matters much, much worse. Also, contrary to popular opinion, there's little stigma or awareness of "bad doctoring", for a number of systemic reasons. So you have someone who doesn't give a fuck about anything, certainly not your situation, not listening to you, and trying to prevent you from receiving medical treatment. This doesn't look so necessary to me. I know there will still be medical experts and surgeons and so forth, but much of this medical infrastructure doesn't benefit the average citizen (I know there's an argument that it does or for a change in perspective, but that's a whole different can of worms. Similar to policing, if you think of the typical way you interact with the medical system, you start to realize there's very little in there to help you. 99.99% of the infrastructure is built to benefit powerful people with tons of money; helping you is an after thought. What happens when you're a victim of crime? Turns out there's very little in place to help. Oh, someone is actively trying to murder you? well give us a call after it happens and maybe we'll investigate. How many of us have experienced something like this? I'm not saying there's no reason for the arrangement, but we should stop trying to pretend these people are looking out for the public. I know people may be tempted to chime in regarding some situation a police officer or doctor helped you. I'm not saying you're wrong, just explaining why some people are asking questions; if you honestly think about it, your naive assumptions about safety and health will be shattered. A doctor, in many ways, arguably has a patients WORST interests at heart, in a similar manor to a police officer, in it's interaction with the public. They have, as their most important responsibilities, to detect certain things, and take actions to hurt the person. This is priority #1, virtually everything else comes after. This is an important observation, is not obvious, and should cause us to reconsider these institutions.
