Well said. This is so true. I have some real nightmare stories about arrogant doctors giving wrong diagnoses and pretending it didn't happen. A little humility would go a long way.

i think docs will, in their minds, be justified though. Even during the opioid epidemic, im sure a lot of them convinced themselves that it was harmless pain management. the power of denial is real

What professions are the scammiest?

Doctors probably have the highest societal respect to deservedness ratio, in the US at least.  I think they've made med school so hard and expensive that it only attracts a certain personality type, and that's a type that isn't necessarily suited to caring for the wellbeing of others.
