Doctors were harder on themselves than patients were when it came to judging their ability to minimize the pain, discomfort, or disability caused by a condition. Only 37 percent of physicians thought they were "very" effective, though 60 percent more thought they were "somewhat" effective. But 79 percent of patients said their doctor helped to minimize their pain or discomfort. -- Consumer Reports
You're suffering from contempt borne of familiarity. You know everything that's wrong in the software world, and nothing about how messed up the medical world is. How 30% of new doctors suffer from depression. And, speaking from personal experience, how freaking elitist an MD can be. Nor have you conversed with people who have chronic illnesses and have taken tons of different drugs with various side-effects and the doctors just move on to the next; I'm not sure if they publicly exist, or are kept behind closed doors, but "everybody makes mistakes" is obviously the norm in that world.
"The only doctor who never loses a patient is one who doesn't try to heal." Which I don't want to be overly-critical of the medical field; I wouldn't even be remotely familiar enough with all the stuff going on to be able to give a truly informed critique beyond the surface level.
