> BTW, if you only talked to a few doctors, and one of them supports it, that's actually a fairly high percentage: 20-33%.

This seems wrong, because it's not taking into account sampling bias

Not only is it wrong, it's also incorrect. I used to work in healthcare IT so a "few doctors" to me is different than other people. But I got his point, I didn't see the need to get too technical.

A few generally is 2 or 3. If you are talking to scores of doctors, and calling it a few because you work at a hospital, then it is the usage of the word that is incorrect.
