At a guess, the majority would be correct. In general, physicians, like all humans, are incompetent and self-interested. Absolving yourself of personal responsibility by ceding your autonomy to an authority figure rarely works out. This is why I hate compulsory government healthcare: Physicians cease to be employees or voluntary servants who help, and become police (or tax farmers) who control and exploit. It is human nature.

Self-interested, perhaps. But assuming that physicians are representative of the broader population when it comes to incompetence is really poorly-grounded.

I have had close friends killed by grossly incompetent diagnosticians, and seen numerous botched and often superfluous surgeries. Completely anecdotal, but evidently typical of rural environs.
