Besides, my appeal to authority trumps yours. Yes, they successfully lobbied the American legal system for the title of doctor—arguably this degrades the meaning of the word. Do you take physicians or the American legal system to be the higher authority on matters of health?
The AMA advocates for US physicians, so it has the obvious bias. Adam Smith:
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.
I do not consider the AMA an impartial authority on matters such as:
Are chiropractors doctors?
Can AIs give medical advice?
How many new doctors should be trained in the US?
Can nurses safely provide more types of medical care?
How much should doctors be paid?
How much training should new doctors receive?
Should non-US doctors practice medicine in the US?
Should US medical insurance cover medical treatments outside the US?
Should we spend more on healthcare in general?
I therefore tend to hug the query and seek other evidence.
