I mean they're giving the best information they have. Sometimes it's wrong, but unless you think they should hedge more (which people also hate, "Why won't doctors ever commit to something, it's always 'maybe' or 'I don't know' or 'we'll see', what's the point of the degree and the high pay if they don't know anything?!") I don't really see what else they can do.
We hear a lot about all the times they're wrong, because they're tragic or frustrating or confusing, and because biology is super non-deterministic they're probably wrong more often than say physicists, but they're also right a lot of the time too, enough of the time that we consider it worth having them. We just don't get as many articles and anecdotes about a doctor correctly predicting someone's disability, because it's not as interesting.
