I teach medical students, residents and fellows in my work as a consultant to the Caron Foundation, an addiction treatment center. I observe that on the whole the people I train are more mechanistic in their approach to medicine and have very little interest in questioning the orthodoxy that they are taught as compared to when I went to medical school. There are exceptions though.

IMHO, I am starting to believe large scale pathological narcissistic behaviors, as the source of this issue. That like then attracts like, and the meme propagates. There is no capacity to empathize and understand the impact of what they do in their work.
I believe you are correct, narcissism plays a big part, Fauci comes across as very narcissistic, but there are many who are not narcissistic who get caught up as the meme propagates as well. These movements always disguise their destructiveness as for some common good and people are blinded by this, and, as you say, lose their empathy and insight.
