> Your suggestion that doctors are all professionals

I'm saying the level of professionalism displayed by doctors is way above the average level of professionalism in software development.

I've worked in QA and have had dozens of developers blatantly lie to me.

How many doctors routinely lie and deliberately mislead their coworkers or their patients? 20%? 30%?

I've been a hiring manager and have interviewed hundreds of software developers and a huge proportion have misrepresented their actual skill set.

How many surgeons will claim they are experts in X surgery when in truth they sat in on an X surgery once while in med school?

What proportion of doctors knowingly push suboptimal solutions because it looks good on their resume or because they personally find it interesting?
