I think there is more to it than that. The process also selects for people who are very hard working and trains them to think in terms of averages.
Everyone wants an unconventional doctor when the convention isnt working for them, but that doesn't mean people on average would be better off if doctors didn't follow convention.
The desire for a doctor that bucks the rules breaks down once you understand that they aren't super-human problem solvers (as seen on TV).
Even listening to and believing patients becomes an optimization problem.
