In the US it is the accumulation of years of frustration with our for-profit system. Insurance at a minimum feels like a parasite, and then on top of that it is the personification of byzantine bureaucratic mazes and arbitrary rulings.

Insurance is also fragile, where an employee that needs their healthcare for something like cancer is then exposed to be laid off and lose coverage.

When you need it most, you are subjected to exploitation and fraud: surprise billing, lack of coverage, and doctors that feign ignorance about costs and complexities.

Meanwhile anyone that knows how billing professionals knows: #1 rule is bill when you can, the #2 rule is to bill as much as possible.

The end result is a lack of faith in our system, where it is just a system of profiteering and exploitation.

They work long hours because they will eventually make a lot of money (my friend is a cardiologist, not even a surgeon, and makes 800k per year in the US) and get huge amounts of prestige. Doctors are the only nerd profession that is cool and sexy. And the number of hours is actually less than it used to be back in the day.

Of course, you don't get as many perks from the drug/device company reps anymore, or have they figured out how to give doctors steak dinners and golf junkets again?

Lack of trust because of misdeeds does not mean one hates all Doctor and nurses who work their ass off to literally save people’s lives. It is not binary.

There is a difference between - will I go to the hospital if I get hurt or have a medical need versus do I trust the hospital to not fleece for some care I may not need. The fact that this question needs to be asked is a result of the lack of trust. If there is any profession where there should have been zero tolerance for malpractice, it is this noble medical profession.

What hate ? Most people who hate on the medical profession are antivax. There has been violent actions taken against the medical workers in vaccination and testing centers in Belgium and France.
