I don't believe he is mad that his psychiatrist is not doing academic research, but instead mad that he is not listening to his claims about smoking having a benefit to his mental illness.
I think medical school / career pressures do a good job of selecting strongly for folks good at following instructions and memorizing information provided by some authority at the expense of curiosity or critical thinking. This works great when someone goes in for a common condition and needs routine treatment, but can get pretty frustrating for patients suffering from anything atypical.
Or maybe I’m being unfair and this is just true of people in general.
