That's hilarious when you think about it.

Politicians don't trust doctors.

Every now and then I see surveys that want to know what is the least trusted profession. Usually
politicians are in the top five. Doctors and nurses are usually at the other end of the survey.

Ed: Here's a Gallup poll from Dec 2015; http://www.gallup.com/poll/1654/honesty-ethics-professions.aspx

The medical profession has the highest rating while politicians and lobbyists rate the lowest.
