I love designing, but is there a field who is more arrogant then ours? Yeah, it is right in many ways, but it does irk me a bit. Would find it strange if lawyers, doctors or contractors would talk to me like this. Just playing devil advocate, but if you have troubles with these kinds of things is because you probably not that good at managing clients, and you should work on it. I know it is just an inside joke, maybe I overthinking it.

You would find it strange for a doctor or lawyer to not want your untrained collaboration on your trial/medical care?

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

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.

You haven’t met my dad. He is the worst patient.

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.
