Apathy from a doctor is far worse, especially when what we want is empathy. I had one doctor in the eight years of suffering from chronic, severe pain who was truly empathetic. He tried just about everything he could think of to help me, all to no avail. I can truly respect that. That, as opposed to my last neurologist, who spent all of six minutes with me, only to dismiss me.
