Sorry that's utterly Ridiculous. Physicians can and must exercise Independent critical appraisal. You're highlighting a culture of Arrogance which is frankly annoying to patients who are fed up with these patronizing cronies
1. A friend shared frustration and incredulity that Cardiologists investigating her fatherโs heart issue during a hospital stay were unmasked. During a SARS2 surge. Cardiologists. Donโt they know SARS2 causes vascular damage?
It occurred to me, this is about culture.

Yes, it is absolutely ridiculous! Culture only makes sense from the insider frame of reference. But to the outsider other cultures can be (at worst) odd, weird, bizzare. And in this case actively dangerous.

Not sure really. I think patients also prefer short term solutions, and place a high value on conformity to norms. How many people are willing to change their diets, for example, rather than swallow a pill per day?
