Dude, I know you’re from a medical family, but my experiences with doctors have, by and large, NOT been positive. I have been labeled a hypochondriac, a drug seeker, etc…when I genuinely have physical issues that were later discovered by a more caring professional. I have 7 different doctors, and only ONE of them is trustworthy. At least I did manage to find one doctor that goes above and beyond for his patients; he would see me during his lunch hour if it was an emergency, and he worked from his hospital bed when he got COVID rather severely. That’s a man I trust. But, yknow, doctors don’t REALLY know what is wrong with you…not without all these tests from these expensive machines. They are just guessing. Educated guesses, yes, but still just guessing.
... And one way you can tell a good doctor apart from a bad one is if he can admit when he's guessing. The human body is an irritatingly complex machine, and symptoms can significantly overlap between drastically different conditions.
That's WHY you need all the blood tests etc, and even there a layperson wouldn't know which ones to ask for to investigate the cause a specific symptom. So there's still a damn sight difference between the 'guess' of a qualified professional with on average 8 years study and training behind them, and just anyone's guess.
If a doc tells me, 'I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure what's causing this but I'm doing my best to find out', I know that I'm in good hands. If what I get instead is 'just take this and shut up' sort of manner, I will instantly have my doubts.
I'm not disputing for a second that doctors get complacent or self-important. Unfortunately that's an attitude seen in any job that requires specialised expertise. But from personal observation I have to say there are certain PATIENTS who confound the issue, by expecting their doctor to be superhuman and infallible, by not accepting it when they're told there's limits to what medicine can achieve.
I mean I have met countless people who aggressively demand antibiotics for a common cold, and won't listen when they're being told those only work for bacteria and a cold is caused by a virus. It's nope, it's 'not a proper doctor' unless you're sent away with some pill to swallow and eventually an overworked exasperated GP is just gonna dish those out against better knowledge.
Or alternative idiots who 'treated' themselves with plant extracts and fucking meditation for their malignant cancer only to FINALLY present at the hospital when at death's door, and because no doctor can perform literal miracles, the entire family of the predictably soon-to-be-deceased patient then wants a lawsuit for 'negligence' while being confirmed in their view that all doctors are useless and know no better than anyone else.
I've seen all kinds of stupid shit like that so it definitely goes both ways.
My doctor in Brooklyn was so "efficient" that he would see you for 5 mins, ask "what do you need" and then prescribe it. No questions asked. He could bill more patients that way, faster, and he DEFINITELY was getting kickbacks of some sort from pharmaceutical companies. They had reps constantly in his office, and he was always throwing samples at me. Then my doctors here in New Jersey, they're a bit better but it's still like "take this, because we don't know what else to do for you BUT prescribe meds." Someone once told me, "Western medicine for ACUTE problems, Eastern medicine for chronic." and I've found that certain treatments such as acupuncture, Chinese medicine, aromatherapy, and seeing a chiropractor, actually DO work well for my pain. Even hospitals are now utilizing aromatherapy; last time I had minor surgery, they gave me a thing to inhale every now and then that smelled like mint, for my anesthesia-related nausea. It actually worked! I was skeptical of these things before, but no longer.
