silversarcasm:

look, there are major issues with the way doctors are put on a pedestal and treated as infallible

when doctors are seen as always right, sick people who contradict them are always seen as wrong

when doctors are always believed, people who need medical help don;t get it because a doctor said there was nothing wrong with them

when doctors are seen as always knowing whats best, people go through the wrong treatments which can severely damage them

a climate in which people who hold power over vulnerable people are seen as unchallengeable is fucking dangerous and does literally get people hurt and killed
