You can’t justifiably refuse to treat people begging for help just because you’re jaded, that’s how you get people killed. Medical care is meant to involve empathetic support, not suspicion and accusations at every turn.
It’s fine to be on the look out for people lying, but you can’t assume everyone is the second you meet them, that’s literally the opposite of what a doctor is meant to do.
I’d be willing to bet you do more digging to find out what’s actually going on than many doctors do, who will just show you the door instead of taking you seriously.
I used to watch this documentary about an amazing doctor who was exactly as described but it was both comedic and effective. It did always seem that once they got to the truth, it was always lupus. Or was it never lupus? I forget.
Those situations really aren’t comparable…

Did that documentary by any chance include breaking into the patients homes?
On occasion, yes. But totally justified, it was the only way to uncover the truth.
