Here’s another fun link about medical students misconceptions (You would think these guys are suppose to be up to date on modern research, unlike some of the older generation of doctors).

“If the patient doesn’t agree and they think there is. . .something
actually physically wrong with them, then it is not going to work
‘cos they are not going to believe in it”

There is also a double standard where if a patient said that quote, they would be accused of stigmatising those with mental health conditions (Implying only physical illness is real), but it seems ok those in the medical profession to make this distinction.
