It’s because your friend spends more 10 minutes listening to you, sees you more often than twice a year, and is truly paying attention to your well being.
If Doctors had time to chat and get to know you, they might gain more trust. Even in countries with funded medical systems, the amount of time a health care provider spends getting to know you personally is way down.
Why would I believe a guy who spent 10 minutes with me barely listening over my buddy who I talk to every day? I’m not saying this is a good thing, but we know what builds trust and it’s not what you get in a healthcare setting.
Homeopathic practices (🤮) have great patient reviews not because they are providing better care, but because their standard appointment length is 45-90 minutes and the patient feels heard and understood in that time.
Doctors just don’t know shit about a lot of stuff too. Other commenter said Gen z can’t read a scientific journal article or study, but shit I think half the doctors forgot that skill when they graduated. They also know next to fucking nothing about diet and preventative care.
It’s largely a problem with misusing specialty doctors and emergency rooms. There needs to be a decade long focus on more family medicine doctors and improving their workload and pay.
ER and urgent care doctors are trained in acute care and trauma. They aren’t trained or meant to handle chronic disease or preventative care, they are meant to handle after the bad thing happens.

10 whole minutes? I paid my $25 copay for 2 minutes with a PA, just this week.

Nah man, they know all that stuff. They’re simply paid to treat the reactive, not focus on proactive care.
