I’ll take “Idiocracy” to mean, “doesn’t buy into the God complex”.

How about accepting fate and not expecting Doctors to be "Gods".

Precisely my point. Accepting fate should mean that medical incompetence should have consequences, not necessarily for the HCPs, but for the system itself. In the US, malpractice litigation is an industry, and this drives up costs for medical care. Not so in countries like the UK, where “bed blocking” is discussed openly by NHS officials.

In single-slayer countries like the UK, there is no recourse for iatrogenic injury. Note how careful the girl’s mother is to not appear to fault the system.
