People do worship doctors like they are gods. They will put you on all sorts of medication without even asking you what you eat. They will suck the cholesterol out of your arteries and perform a heart bypass without even telling you what might of caused it. 50 years ago they recommended cigarettes as a healthy. As a 55 year old who's been vegan all my life I've never been to a hospital or a doctors and I don't need health insurance because I have health assurance.
I realized it when I was in high school, probably 15 or 16 years old. You have to walk the doctor through everything because they really have no clue what they are doing or talking about. I stopped going altogether when I was 18. When I went through college I further realized what a joke doctors are. Everybody crams and memorizes what they need to know to pass. ANYBODY can become a doctor nowadays. Very few actually learn the information and how to integrate it into their practice and other studies. This is true for many majors and careers.
I have zero respect for doctors unless they are internationally renowned, which is usually well deserved. Good doctors are few and far between and 95% of doctors are complete quacks like you said. I have a lot more respect for witch doctors or doctors who try their own experiments on patients than I do for these cookie cutter doctors being rolled out by colleges that are a dime a dozen.
