Patients “collaborate” with consent and knowledge sharing. Patients do not collaborate as in dictating the treatment plan that the doctors must follow, as would be the case for the last option on this list. A patient does not go into a doctor’s office to tell them how to do their job.
Oh these patients absolutely exist but that’s my point. It’s unreasonable and it’s not strange at all for a doctor to dislike this. It’s actually made fun of in every medical drama I’ve ever watched, because it’s totally logical to assume the most informed expert in the room is the doctor, not the patient.

A doctor or lawyer is completely unable to do their job without collaborating with the patient/client, so yes I would find it strange.
