This is certainly true, but it misses the point that one major reason MDs so commonly disbelieve patients is because resources, including their time, are too limited, and that accelerating all technological tools will lessen the burden of ordering tests that MDs are strongly encouraged to limit as much as possible. There is a human problem, but the solution is mostly about economics, about removing the scarcity that lower levels of technology forces, and this applies just as much to testing, as it does to the availability of MDs. Once medical AIs are available 24/7 and basically have the same level of capacity as if every single person on Earth had a personally-assigned MD, everything changes. They don't have to gaslight anymore, it literally becomes evidently counter-productive, because everything that happens is recorded accurately. Cultural changes usually follow technological changes, not the other way around. The culture of medicine is built this way because scarcity and limited technology have always been a strongly limiting factor. Once you cross to another level of technology, it's a bit like moving from letters and packages to the modern telecommunications infrastructure. You're not limited by the availability of paper and ink in your hands, or the time it takes for the information you have to scribble down onto a physical medium.
