Two incidents really changed my view on doctors.
First is, my son has a disability. When we first started noticing things were off, we saw a lot of doctors. They all had a different opinion on what was wrong. One told us he would never walk. We asked about this therapy clinic that uses an experimental type of physical therapy. He recommended against it, without even really looking at it, just because the therapy wasn't by respected academics. (This the same doctor who said son would never walk.) We decided to go against the advice and try it anyway. Guess what, son is walking now and going to school and all that.
Second, the way most doctors just bought the official narrative hook line and sinker during Covid.
I learned that (most) doctors don't actually think for themselves. They regurgitate what they're told by medical textbooks and pharma companies.
Joe Rogan said it well. If you need a specific procedure done or you need a specific drug, go see a doctor. But for general, more holistic health advice, avoid them.
I came to have the same view of doctors.
Something I realized after meeting a few doctors outside of work is that they aren't scientific minded people. Like you were saying, they memorize a ton of information (much of it very valuable), but they aren't really interested or curious about the truth or thinking about the claims they're repeating.

I remember talking (back in early covid times) to a neighbor who was a doctor.
Information had just come out about ivermectin, and how it was a potentially helpful treatment. My doctor neighbor was from India, and the study on ivermectin was from India, so I sent it to him, thinking he'd be interested.
He flatly answered back, "We need to wait for the vaccine".
And that was it.

I recently went to the doctor and came back with two misdiagnosis, and a prescription of antibiotics and statins. I'm so happy I decided not to take them. I've also watched countless YouTube videos of patients who've survived stage 4 cancer, and what they all have in common is that they're actors, and not just mere passive spectators, they're very much involved in the decisions concerning their health, and often going against the advice of their doctors. Truly inspiring!
