I have a lot happen to me but at this point I know these people from medical industry just don't have proper answers and will parrott you what they have been thought or heard because they need to make paychecks otherwise they are screwed like everyone. Also they cannot identify this major social symptom, showing how little they really understand complex systems. Medical students are chosen through a very competitive process and game that doesn't ressemble real theory at all. It merits parroting, memory, and greed. Psychologist are perfect analogs to priests, and psychiatrists are at this point glorified drug dealers.


Like in many high-skills high-competition jobs, people are selected on how much they can endure, not just how good they are. I've seen many excellent people just quit because the pressure with useless tasks was wearing them down. I often heard them tell me "I don't want to become a zombie like all of them" or things such as "Look at them, they are all trying to reproduce what they have been through because they have been convinced thats how you select good people"
