You don't know the extent of human bias. All humans are ruled more by bias than by logic, doctors included AND you included as well. What's especially worse is that Doctors are trained to mistrust a patient. They view patients as lower ranking simpletons so they trust established knowledge more than they trust a patients description of an anomaly.
The key here that you have to realize is that what the doctors are doing is completely normal. All people are like this, including you, and I can prove it.
In order to prove it though I may have to say something off topic and somewhat offensive. Our biases make what I'm about to say offensive but logically what I'm saying actually makes sense, it is just your biases overriding the logic. So take the time to consider that before you start raging.
Remember, The point here is to make you self aware of your bias overriding your logic.
Consider this: Homosexuality is a biological disorder.
The statement is highly offensive but logically it makes sense. Natural Selection weeds out those who can't reproduce and obviously Homosexual men or women are less likely to breed with anything other than their own sex, thereby naturally selecting themselves out of the tree of life.
Thus homosexuality must be an recent anomaly as an evolutionary trait as it would have naturally selected itself out eons ago if it was a natural trait.
The overall point here isn't to debate the validity of my statement. The point is to see that there is certain logic behind my statement that is worth discussion but modern culture has injected biases into all our brains that make the otherwise logical statement appear completely offensive.
Your entire life is ruled by a cultural narrative and very few people have the capability of breaking out of this narrative. Doctors are indoctrinated in med school and residency with another cultural narrative and very few people are able to break out of it. The UCLA doctor who dismissed antibiotics is just like someone who dismisses the possibility that homosexuality is a disorder. Both of these people have their thinking ruled by the established cultural narrative.
Whether my example helped you become more self aware or whether you were already self aware of this possibility is sort of irrelevant as I think my point will come across regardless.
