I think the issue is more that the healthcare industry makes doctors gatekeepers to healthcare, which can breed tremendous amount of resentment between doctors and patients. A doctor is pressured/forced to provide service to patients, and patients are not legally allowed to seek healthcare from other types of professionals, like biochemists for example, which often have a much better understanding of some diseases than doctors.

When there is so much coercion and lack of consent, people get very frustrated.
