There is literally a person whose job is to make your patient feel bad. Within the law, both sides are right, in that there can be honest disagreements. The parties in the middle rarely feel that the other side has any redeeming virtues. To an outsider such as a juror, they may look exactly alike. The second is that the law has a set time frame.
Psychiatrists easily understand the idea of seeing a patient for as long as it takes.
Attorneys face a day in court. They can sometimes delay but never stop the eventual final decision, even if it comes through negotiated agreement. For a doctor, it is as if you agreed to remove half a cancer.
