In short, most doctors aren't actual scientists. Many choose to be educated on science in fields outside their main practice, but they will still never be experts. Those that have a preconception on certain topics can be willfully ignorant to the science and still be highly successful at what they do.
It sucks, but that's the way some people are.

I had a family doctor before who I saw looking up my symptoms up on WebMD and making a possible diagnosis based on that. I was like, I could just do that at home dude. The only thing I don't have a is a prescription pad. He literally asked me what medication I wanted, which I totally took advantage of. I can't be trusted with that kind of power!
There are some bad doctors out there who were good at learning how to pass but aren't great thinkers on their own. It's like any profession really.
