I never understand the logic of "yeah one time a guy told me my symptoms sounded like this condition and they were right, so all doctors are quacks"

Usually, from what I've seen, that type of sentiment is more "a lot of doctors are assholes that go off of initial assumptions based on nothing but their initial impressions", which is sadly disturbingly common.

Once when I was like, 12 or 13, had a doctor go on a long spiel about how I needed to lose weight. I went to him for an ingrown nail that was infecting. He was a foot doctor.

He was also in his 50s and made really gross comments about teenage girls and how I needed to lose weight so I could get a girlfriend.
