I don't know. I trust them myself.

My ex-wife was one who hated doctors. I was once involved in a conversation with her and one of her sisters in which they agreed that they BOTH hated doctors. So you might conclude it runs in the family, right? But the paradox (ahem!) is... there are two more siblings... one is a doctor and one is a nurse! Figure that one out!

Actually you CAN figure it out. I think I did. It stems from a fear of giving up control over one's own body. The one who became a doctor probably started out having that fear himself, and studying medicine was his way of coping with it. He probably thought, if I learn enough, I can always diagnose and treat myself and then I won't have to trust anyone else! The one who became a nurse probably did so because she was a girl, and girls in those days were discouraged from going to medical school. So she did the best she could. I'll bet she would have become a doctor had she gotten the right encouragement.
