Let me play surgeon's advocate:
It is not unlikely that your invading professional never had sufficient socialization.
He was an excellent and very industrious student throughout an intensive academic career and didn't spend enough time with family or friends.
His high opinion of himself was reinforced by his scholastic achievements and acceptance into the exclusive fraternity of physicians, no, not just physicians, surgeons, no not just surgeons, but a respected sub-specialty.
Such high self confidence is not only characteristic, but necessary for a career where screwing up has serious repercussions, like blindness.
You wouldn't want him working on you if he wasn't sure he could do the job, would you?
If he is working in that career, you can be sure he has the full confidence of many patients.
If he couldn't instill that faith, he wouldn't work long, his patients would find a better liar.
I find it unsurprising that he might fall for his own superman persona and feel free to invade your personal space.
Understandable, but wrong. Good for you for pushing back.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
