I'm sure they are. I mean, many probably get into medicine because they actually do want to help people. And then med school gives them a god complex. But, I mean, if we don't listen to doctor's and scientists, who should we listen to on issues involving science and medicine? I mean, I know the answer isn't lawyers and most politicians are lawyers.
And at least you know that doctors at least have your best interest in mind even if they are overprotective. I can guarantee you that isn't the case with lawyers or politicians.
