I know a lot of doctors who are overweight/obese, have unhealthy lifestyles, and/or make dumb personal decisions. I go to doctors for their expertise in their fields; that doesn't mean I'd trust their personal decisions.

Leading cause of death of cardiologists is fucking heart disease. And they know that heart disease is 100% avoidable. It's actually disturbing to me. If their personal biases are influencing their personal behavior to that degree, are they really going to recommend interventions to their patients that they wouldn't even bother with to save their OWN lives?

That's a pretty small amount of doctors though, compared to most doctors who don't wear masks.
