I mean you really only described one of many of the shittier caricatures/stereotypes of doctors so I'm gonna venture and guess you were surrounded by the numbers doc/the ones who audit their own practice and timed each second as valuable because time is money rather than time can save lives.

Yeah there are these kinds of doctors around. There are nurses like this around. There's plenty of great doctors out there who are just normal people. Maybe because doctors are just normal people, not heroes. Healthcare workers are normal people.

Half the times, I see people talk down on doctors and such, it's always based on an idea of a person representing the entire profession for them. Or people judge people worse for not living up to the expectation that they're heroes.

Seems to be a common thing on social media these days for example to call nurses mean girls and think bullies end up nurses and nursing is to girls what cops are to men. Like where are all these asshole docs and bully nurses? I work in patient care. As far as I can tell, more than half the times patients or their families are nasty af and staff just trying to remain calm while taking abuse.
