- They were far more likely to prescribe for patients a potentially life-saving treatment with severe side effects than they were to pick that treatment for themselves.

No amount of doctoring can prepare you for being a patient.
I wonder what other instances are out there when the one who prescribes would not follow her own advice, such as in economic development prescriptions.
