It's a high pressure job and if they suspect someone of making it tougher, I wouldn't be surprised to see them go into defense mode.
Doctors rely heavily on interpersonal communication, especially during the initial workup on a patient. The most important part of the physical examination is the patient History. If anyone ever asks "What are the three most important parts of the physical examination?", the answer is History, History, History ... like Location, Location, Location in real estate it's that important. Anything that interferes with the doctor being able to get information, especially reliable information (not erroneous information or even disinformation), from a patient is an unwelcome game changer for the doctor who bases treatment plans on that information. The doctor's oath to "First do no harm" can become a longshot with serious consequences all around if even unintentional harm is done.
