Basically the medical equivalent of every absolutely terrible singer that walked into the lion's den on American Idol, getting their dreams crushed and humiliated in front of millions of people, all because their "friends" were too cowardly to tell them that singing just isn't their thing.

Or hell, the way millennials were raised to think anyone can be an astronaut, because boomers were too cowardly to break it to their kids that they're just average.
