Doctors don't typically have bosses directing how they treat patients; Doctors have full agency, front line grunt workers do not.

I don’t think this is true in America. Doctors are limited on what will benefit the system monetarily. Healthcare administrators will decline suggested procedures from doctors due to expense.

But that's not an independent fact. That's one of the major goals of medical oaths; they establish that doctors must be able to determine the right course of action on their own, that ethical doctors won't work for an organization that won't give them that agency.
