Big picture

And as someone with medical qualifications (no I am not medically qualified, nor trained), it also should not involve filling trainees with propaganda that bears little relationship to reality. All this training can seriously hinder the spread of good practice.

Take it from someone who has been at the wrong end of arrogant doctors, doctors who are well meaning but ignorant, doctors who can't do a good job because they can't communicate ... and all of whom are people who would almost certainly be horrified if they realised the harm they'd done.

And most of it is down the Religious Dogma (or Politics - equally as bad) instilled in professions with long apprenticeships. But we see that everywhere in life, the powerful want to hang on to power.

Cheers,
