The problem with the older generations is that they view the doctor as god. They don’t question anything he or she says. They were raised to keep quiet, not talk back to the doctor, to believe whatever the doctor tells them, and shut up and follow whatever orders they give them.
I don’t think old people realize there are bad doctors as well as good doctors. To them the doctor’s word is sacred and final, and the gospel truth.
No doctor should have that kind of power and control.
