It seems to me this discussion will go nowhere. Many people will have a story of a terrible doctor who should have done this, but didn't, etc.

On the other hand we can tell you of doctors who work long long hours saving the lives of people they have never met before, often for very little pay, or even none (in the case of pulling over at a car accident in a rural area until the ambulance gets there).

Just keep your stories coming, but imagine how you would feel if people were attacking your judgements that you made with the best intentions, and attacking your profession, using emotive but not factually correct words to put your case across.
