    I submit that a misogynist who can keep his patients alive is a better doc than an egalitarian who can’t. I would go so far as to say that the former is a “good” doc, and the latter a “bad” one, measured by every relevant standard.

      I’m sure all of Larry Nasser’s patients share your assessment in technical competency over a professional demeanor.

      having a patient’s trust is vital to one’s abilities to provide care for that patient, and professional comportment is not a thing that’s solely for nurses. The fact is doctors are dealing with humans, and not cars. but even an auto mechanic is going to have to be customer-servicy once in a while.
