How do non medical population viewpoint doctors?
Hey, my question may be a bit weird, but I'm curious about something. I'm studying prescription and will be a doctor in 2 years. We hear so much stuff in the media give or take a few doctors who killed their patients or those who were sued for malpractice or could have prevented a disappearance etc...
So I'm wondering, what is the general perception that people have of doctors? Do they see them as healers, or as blood sucking lice, or total failures in white coats? Are they respected and considered respectable, productive members of society or something else?
I'm chiefly curious about what it's like in the West because where on earth I live (Egypt), it's pretty bad, with general mistrust, plus the salary for the majority are peanuts, so they financially in a very bad state.
Thanks

I would enunciate most people have alot of faith within their doctor (perhaps too much sometimes).
Overall, doctors in US and Canada have very moral salaries - are perceived to be very smart by the public and are trusted. The media loves a malpractice suit so that drama is other there with the medical profession as a whole - but on a doctor to forgiving level - people here put alot of trust in medical professionals.
In canada - linger lists are very long (>1 year for non life-threatening) - and family doctors are tricky to get. Even though health care is free here these obstacle mean people have to be vigilant to seize time with doctors.
In the US - i think its easier to see a doctor, that is if you can afford to be insured. If you are not insured - you're pretty much screwed, I don't believe here are that many resources for the uninsured.
In America, malpractice suits are too common, but I landscape doctors in most cases as great. They are definitely considered productive members of society.
Well, to tender you an "inside" answer about doctors....
People on the "outside" (that is, the patients and general public) see one side of the doctors. Usually they put a lot of blind dependence in a doctor simply because of the status and title--something I don't condone (see below). And doctors are generally very polite or at worst fairly aloof with their patients.
People on the "inside" (those that work with doctors) see the other side. Tantrums, haughtiness because of the status and title, and the reality that they don't know as much as they think they know in areas.
To me, who has see both sides more times than I care to have seen them, the justification a doctor became a doctor has a great influence on how they are view within both realms. Those who do it for money, those who do it simply because they're smart, and those who do it because of a family tradition are not going to be nearly as well-respected as those who do it because they have a earnest concern for the patient and those ancillary staff who have to carry out their directives.
