I've wondered the same thing myself pretty much every time I've come into contact with a doctor. The fundamental lack of curiosity for someone in a field related to science (seemingly based on science) is astonishing.

That has never been my experience with any doctor, and I have met many doctors of many different specialties.

Perhaps the problem here is not doctors, but the way you are communicating (or not) with them. Your sotto-voce "seemingly based on science" is exceedingly derisive; perhaps that is carrying across. I too tend to minimise the length of conversations with people that treat me with contempt.
