As my doc explained decades back, it's not only a matter or ego and pride. People are don't feel OK and are nervous and so go to a doc for answers. "I don't know" doesn't alleviate their worries, so we use a $10 word, and assure them it's not serious and they go home happy.
I once asked my doctor the difference between "sontigrade" and "centigrade." He said, "$100,000 in med school tuition." That was back in the day of course . . .
