Ha ha, you're right, they do want to feel superior and many drs consider themselves gods or simial, a higher power. The worst thing is when they try to explain medical stuff in a baby-language sense (or smart explains to stupid), like when our dr told mom that she had some tiiny little bug inside here that is nice and friendly, but can be killed if she wanted to.
Interesting attitude. There's a point when you let go of the ridiculousness of it all because you know better. The only thing that you can do is laugh and move on!
I feel that this is the beginning of something new
I believe there is truth in that. There are times in life when we push up against a threshold and move through it -- we learn many things about ourselves and those around us! This is war -- attack and regroup, attack and regroup. At least, this has been my experience.
