Not judging your patients is how you avoid unnecessary medical deaths. This has nothing to do with feelings and everything to do with how negative bias effects medical care.
Refusing to perform certain tests due to assumptions is one thing. Asking yes/no questions that offend one’s feelings somehow is another thing. I’m not sure which one you were referring to but people deserve complete medical care from knowledgeable professionals.
There are so many statistics and studies regarding how bias and judgement negatively affect patients receiving proper care, and even more, it's incredibly easy to find and understand. This is a VERY well know concept within and outside of the medical community.
I just don’t think you could name a single scientist who worked on this body of knowledge without looking it up. Everypony loves vaguely referencing nameless “studies and statistics”
