The nail that sticks up is the nail that gets hammered. And they all know it. And they all fear it.
Ignorance is bliss. And unfortunately it is deliberate in this situation.
My Doctor of 23 years retired because of it. By "it," I am referring to what the medical profession was becoming.
Wonderful MD and wonderful man.
We never had the time for long discussions, but he was clearly awake. We would always get in a few sentences about the state of things at the end of appointments.
My last appointment was on his last day of practice. He walked me down to the station to have my blood drawn, slapped me on the shoulder and gave me a hug, looked me in the eye and said, "what do i do now?"

It is such a tragedy to lose someone who does NOT conform, who thinks for himself and outside the box. I understand completely.
I have friends training to enter the medical field and now they don't want to! All that training, for what?
Sad statement.
But the ones with a conscience are getting out.
