    I agree, but it’s like that in a lot of industries. Car mechanics, plumbers/electricians, IT. If you try to tell those people anything they will go out of their way to try to prove you wrong. Really weird behavior worthy of a scientific study.

      I’ve been watching through Silicon Valley for the first time and holy shit is this Richard. He can’t take any form of criticism, he can’t just accept that other people have good ideas, and he constantly tanks his own prospects because of his stubbornness.

        Sounds like my colleagues. But since medicine is a hierarchical culture that values conformity over critical thought, that type of behaviour tends to actually work in favour of the person.
