I also hope that most people are not silly enough to think that doctors can be compared to engineers and plumbers.
Engineers and plumbers operate in more or less a binary context. Either what they are building works or it doesn’t. Either they fix a problem in an absolute manner or they fail at doing so.
Doctors are dealing with life. Life is constantly evolving. A cure for a disease is actually not absolute as the disease could one day evolve just like all living beings. There’s a reason science does not speak in absolutes. There’s a reason why doctors give medical advice and opinions rather than give you an absolute solution. Science in general deals with theorizing and demonstrating theories but they never see things having an actual end point as it is implied that all things are most likely infinite.
To put it in more simpler terms, go see 10 doctors, you would probably get a nice range of very different opinions. Heck, some doctors may see a growth as dangerous and some may see the same growth as benign. This is an actual quantifiable fact, yet one finds that doctors are comparable to a plumber? Serious? If one thinks that doctors are comparable to plumbers and the treatment of disease is no different than fixing a car transmission or the plunger in the tank of ones toilet, that in and of itself demonstrates my point that the problem is lack of education (not saying anyone is an uneducated idiot here, but honestly if one really thinks the two are comparable one has obviously not bothered to think that through to any extent).
