In the 90s, I used to interview a wide variety of doctors and medical specialists for a TV magazine. The public might be astonished to learn how many emotionally detached narcissistic jerks there are in the medical profession - where care should be paramount. They should have no difficulty recruiting Dr Frankenbeans who want to play God and experiment.
I believe they are actually taught to be emotionally detached in medical school in order to preserve their sanity. Also in medical school, they come to the conclusion that they are superior to the rest of us.
The people in medicine who gravitate toward the political and high profile parts (Academic medical administrators, plastic surgeons, weirdo sex change urologists, shrinks, etc.,) are just what you'd expect in left wing jerks everywhere: Narcissistic, communistic, crazy, control freaks, super-greedy, attention-seeking, sociopathic.
The other 90 percent are normals, even more, they resemble FReepers in their political views.
Real doctors run from cameras and news reporters.
The people you dealt with are the leftist infiltrators who have invaded all the professions, not just medicine, in their Long March.
PS: So you interviewed people for a television magazine. Sure glad that in your media profession you don't have any of the nasty emotionally detached narcissistic people you describe the doctors to be.
