It seems to me like the whole medical profession is a big celebration of having an ego problem. Some doctors carry themselves with so much hubris it's hard to imagine some of them making ANY rational decisions at all, and all their processes, right down to how medical records are kept, seem geared around expecting obedience from the patient without revealing enough details for scrutiny to be applied.

Compare that against professions like engineering where a few notorious failures have led to the presence of cognitive biases in decision making being at least acknowledged to a degree.

Do you have a link to a video of this twist kick?

I don't but you basically kick either left or right as hard as you can as if you were kicking a soccer ball! Then at the same time you twist your upper body in the opposite direction as if you were trying to smash through a wall behind you. The key is to do these at the same time and with full force. I had to practice the motion of the soccer kick and the smashing through the wall separately until I was able to do them at the same time. It feels natural when you get it right.
