Does the medical profession ridiculously disparage their own?
I cannot tell you how many times I have heard physicians (people with an MD) refer to other types of MDs as “fake doctors.” The two most commonly cited groups I hear this about is psychiatrists and physiatrists. Psychiatry is put down because they see “mental health patients” and do not perform surgery. Physiatrists (who are rehabilitation medicine doctors) are often put down because some of the elitist physicians consider it too easy.
