I haven’t downvoted you but I’ve actually found the opposite to be the case. I’ve come across quite a few medical doctors who seem to lack the ability to listen to their patients – or the interest in investigating the cause of problems. I got the impression that they came from wealthy backgrounds and are the type of people who do well in exams and became doctors purely for the monetary return and social prestige. It’s disappointing to realise that I, as a system administrator, put more effort into investigating and solving IT problems for co-workers than some doctors put into investigating serious medical and health problems. On the other hand, I’ve met a few intelligent, gifted and empathetic people who really wanted to be doctors or nurses but weren’t so good at rote memorisation. As a result, they didn’t obtain the necessary “points” to get one of the very limited places in medical courses.
