Thanks mrsD, that is exactly why I posted.
I always like to remind doctors about their closed minds with something like this about Ignaz Sommelweis, who discovered the benefits of clean hands in surgery.
Quote:
"Semmelweis's groundbreaking idea was contrary to all established medical understanding. As a result, his ideas were rejected by the medical community. Other more subtle factors may also have played a role. Some doctors, for instance, were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands; they felt that their social status as gentlemen was inconsistent with the idea that their hands could be unclean."

And finally, you will love this:
"When Dr. Josephine Baker created a hygiene program for child care workers in 1910, disgruntled doctors petitioned the mayor to cease this program that was destroying their practices by making children healthy."
