This is true! I also worked in healthcare. We would get students rotating in from the large, famous university hospital next door. Sitting in staff meetings before the meeting start they would talk among themselves - and the conversations usually revolved around all the money they would make and the lifestyle they would lead and/or whether the road to riches would/could (hopefully) include inventing a new medical device which would then bring in a stream of money so they then didn’t have to work as a doctor! Very few were working toward entering the profession in order to help people - but there were a few. Those few stand out in my memory years later.

We chatted with a young Doc in residency there and he seemed interested in things like psychoanalysis when asked. Then the Doctor arrived, my friend cited his side effects with his medicine and just asked openly for a different prescription of the Doctor's choosing. But he made a crucial mistake, and very gently asked the Doctor if he had ever tried the drug he just prescribed. The meeting lasted about 2 minutes and the doctor immediately raised his voice, offered no explanation or conversation, called my buddy crazy and kicked him out and and told him don't come back. Bringing a friend to an appointment will give you some protection, but Narcissism is hair triggered, and stupid.

There, in enormous pain and suffering, he was treated with painkillers. But all in all, doctor did not believe him. He had a supposition that my friend was under the influence of illegal substances and was confabulating and talking nonsense. Even after examination ruled that out the narc didn't change his view. In the meantime my friend's aorta was tearing apart. So the narc doctor was talking with my friend and the following conversation happened: - So, how are you feeling? - Im scared... I know I have a condition that can cause internal bleeding and death if not treated. I am afraid that this is happening. You never know... It's like waiting for a heart attack to happen! - I had a heart attack and I’m alive. End of conversation. He was not punished despite my friend loosing his kidney as a direct result of insufficient blood flow into kidney vessels (it was blocked by damage to aorta). Not to mention his chances of survival dropped from 40% to 5% because of the incompetence of narc doctor. God forbid you meet anyone like that in your life.

She thought I was an angel to come and take her to heaven, so I said yes and to rest as she was safe and I will not leave her. She laid back as she was desperately trying to sit up, but had the “death rattle” breathing that I knew very well. She passed peacefully and I went back to my bed as the doctor appeared in the foyer and was about to come to the bay. To my utter disgust he then tried to take blood test from her, I could hear him slapping her arm and saying that he needed to go get another needle as he was getting any success. So I calmly walked out to him and the nurse at the desk behind him and said “ just thought I’d let you know that the reason why you aren’t getting any blood is because this sweet dear woman had passed away in my arms about ten minutes ago”…. He looked stunned and I looked at him disgusted. I am just glad that I was there. Her daughter was a medium and I went to see her some months later for a visit and she said straight away when I hugged her “thank you so much for comforting my mother, she told me you were there “….

It seems to me, the more you go to the doctor, the worse you get. I saw my grandparents become "yes men" for their doctors getting endless surgeries and taking endless amounts of opiates and other junk pills. I will always look for a natural way to help any ailments I have. Dont go to the doctors unless you wanna be treated like a walking checkbook.

I've known of GP's, a Maxillo facial surgeon, psychiatrist, dentists exactly how you're describing; absolutely vile people. I have notes written about me due to my complaining, treated in a passive aggressive manner, humiliated, assaulted, lied to, had letters passed around (which I'd asked to be destroyed) in order to create deformation about me. I record every single appointment I attend, and I encourage anyone else to do so because they will gaslight the crap out of you and they live up one another's arse, there's no question about it.

I worked for a covert narcissist doctor and let me tell you all.. this man was something else.. it's like giving this big responsability to a kid that just want to play and feed his fantasy.. work is just a game for them they don't give a shit about the profession, the patients or the principles they just want to play pretend. One of the most traumatizing things that I keep still from my experience is them asking me a random question out of no where "are you able to kill someone" I didn't know at that time who he is and what was behind that question but later on when I started to pick on his behavior and actions I understood that he was projecting on me one of his darkest secret through that question, he was never correct, no morality, no principles, he is a criminal .. what a shame that such creatures manage to have such noble position and abuse it..

I had a really good podiatrist when I had a tendon tear, he was the exact opposite of this description, what a blessing that was. He listened to my concerns, when I asked him how will I know that the tear is really healed and if I could get a second MRI to check. He said that in medicine they usually just assumed that it is healed once symptoms disappeared but if I really wished we could do a second MRI, but it is expensive. He basically admitted that sometimes they just assume and that my wish to want proof was valid and he would make arrangements if I really wanted it. He then gave me a free ultrasound, doesn't provide the same imaging but he did it for free and said if I wanted the MRI too I could get it. What a great doctor. I was very lucky.

They will NEVER, even when they know the client (themselves) did the crime, stop defending and objecting. While knowing full well they are wrong, they will fight the argument from a position of righteousness. I actually think lawyers and judges have docotors beat.

Oh dear! This is very depressing/disturbing. 😢

I've run into a few in my years and thankfully, I can ferret this out pretty fast and move on. Talk about arrogance when they're questioned.

This is the most comprehensive and accurate description of this problem in the medical system that I've seen. I am from the UK and it's still the same. I have basically nowhere to talk about this. I've had to spend all my life very ill and well over half my life incapacitated with my life at a complete stand still, because medical professionals discriminate against me, refuse to treat me. I've done everything I humanly can with ever single bit of power and strength I have. Which I've only been able to do from the endless support of someone I met on the internet... Family don't care. But I can't fight the medical system as I'd want to because I'm so disabled. They literally laugh at me and treat me like I'm stupid. Use every bias and stereotype and prejudice under the sun. So many are completely blinkered, brainwashed, with a hatred of humanity, or callous indifference. A lot of them are incredibly ignorant. Even medical staff who may not be narcissists seem to end up acting that way, probably because of the suffocating work culture. Patients have zero power, especially the most vulnerable ones. Abused and neglected people also unsurprisingly hugely attract these same behaviours in hospitals. It's also insanely ironic how anti-disability the medical system is, when it should be the most understanding. It is beyond horrifying what I've had to go through. It's utterly surreal. I've had brain inflammation for years and years, I believe caused by a disease called MCAS. Severe head pains, alongside heavy nosebleeds and fever should be cause for neurologist's concern, even if they're going to deny everything else I experience. There's so little understanding about neurological problems. I can seem ok in writing from time to time but I'm anything but. In my day-to-day life, the whole world can see I'm completely effed. Just not them apparently. Some have actually tried to tell me I'm just autistic instead, or that I'm being coached to say things. I've faced so much sexual harrassment from them too. Because I look a lot younger than I am and am so impaired they see me as free for all. It's unbelievable. Although it's been going on for so long now and I've lost so much life that strangers just think I'm severely mentally disabled from birth or something. It's not ever going to be ok for me. Medical systems and medical culture worldwide needs totally dismantling, just as society needs a complete reset.

Definitely. About 8 years ago I got extremely sick and went to the doctor. I was sure with the symptoms I had that it was lyme disease. I spent 2 years with local doctors I was imaging it and was given Valium to "calm down". I was mostly bed bound so I decided to move to another state and went to a lyme literate doctor who took blood work and found I had active borelia, babesia and rocky mountain spotted fever. I almost died several times. I am permanently damaged neurologically, have damage to one eye and fatigued 24/7. I brought the results back to my original doctor and she just said, well you got medicine so you're fine now.

I'm in the psychology profession and went back to school for osteopathic medicine and holistic nutrition just for this reason, to care for and educate my own family, self and work as a consultant for families of special needs infants. I was in an accident and a new 28 yr old ER doctor wanted to do a spinal tap for a concussion, his reasoning was that he needed to figure out why I have a headache, a new primary care prescribed a medication that "works best for my race", I didn't have the need for it, my blood pressure was high due to pain, I reported him to my insurance company. Another was trying to force four unnecessary medications for low hormonal levels that two foods regulated, my mother had bilateral vascular surgery on her neck and takes the same medications. I was diagnosed with breast and bladder cancer and miraculously, it disappeared after I stood my ground and alerted my doctor that I'll be starting my clinicals soon so I won't be available for testing and treatments. Dr., you are absolutely correct about their mental health, I spent 10 years of 12 hours shifts on crisis units with them, I don't scare easy -they scared me.

Absolutely. And they're ubiquitous.

Professor, you are absolutely right! Now I understand why some of the doctors I have seen along the years have given me the wrong treatment and wouldn't listen to me or would tell me that I was wrong about my symptoms. Thank you very much for this enlightening video!

I am so glad this topic is addressed by prof. Vaknin Sadly my experience supports his observation. From lack of compassion to cruelty … I observed such range of attitudes in my female primary care physician.

Don’t be fooled - women physicians are just as bad as the men doctors. I had one lie about my thyroid test results - found out the next year when I visited the office and new doctor stated there were no records anywhere of a thyroid test being run the year before! I suffered several years with low thyroid symptoms before being properly treated. HMO’s were just becoming popular and I am surmising my original doctor was looking to save them money - many financially rewarded doctors at the end of the year who ran the least tests and provided the least procedures and services. Have greatly wised up in the intervening years. AND I always ask for a hard copy of any test results. Same goes for when my dog needs veterinary attention/tests.

The Truth has been Spoken. Thank You Prof. Vaknin

Funny, how this vid popped up in my recommendations right after I came back from an appointment with a very condescending cardiologist half my age... 🤔🤔🤔

I would like to add that sometimes, doctors, and psychatrists, can be the victims of their over-specialisation (Not that the prof is wrong about narcissistic gas lighting doctors, but not all of them are). For example, my mother was all of a sudden, getting sweating at the back of her neck, following a stroke, and 3 doctors saw her at emergency. She was diagnosed with low electrolytes (which means salt in human speak) and was prescribed Gator Aid (nothing but salt/electrolytes) as a cure. They came to this conclusion, after I told them that I had cut salt from her diet, because salt is known to raise blood pressure, which is regularly not recommended after a stroke. My mother also took hormones (premarin) for 40 years after a hysterectomy. Those were discontinued after her stroke. The sweating continued, in spite of the Gator Aid. At the time, I was going through menopause, and getting plenty of hot flashes, so I put 2 and 2 together, and tought that this could be what was wrong with my mother. She also mentioned, that she had never had menopause symptoms, or hot flashes before, she had stoped taking premarin (hormones) . I went to her regular doctor with this information, and she actually agreed with my diagnosis. We also discussed, if there was ever a study made, has to what happens to women's blood pressure during a hot flash. There isn't one. I have asked several other doctors, including her stroke specialist, if they recalled seeing a study on blood pressure fluctuations during a hot flash, and they all said no. Last year, I spoke to a doctor, getting a test for a very soar throath, to be sure I did not have strep, (it wasen't) I asked him about menopause symptoms, (they last more than 10 years by the way) and to his recollection, he had never seen a study on a women's blood pressure during a hot flash. Women are still underserved by the medical profession it seems.

As a doctor... I agree but everyone inside the field knows it!

I'm a 74 year old single male. Until I was in my late forty's I had absolutely no contact with the medical system and after a very bad work accident I approached it with the naive thought that " If your hurt or sick a doctor was the person to see". Well, let me tell you I had no idea of what was to come and it has had an affect to this day, soul destroying. I really thought that there was something about my personality that would trigger an angry or unhelpful response to my questions. After watching this video I now totally understand and, I thank you. I must state that I have also found some Doctors and only some that are a credit to their profession and I'm extremely grateful.
