This is the same reasoning used by a particular group which argues that a particular larger group are unintentionally, uncontrollably and unknowningly bigoted based on past experiences...
Arguing with the chain of command is a surefire way to get your ass demoted though. If it was meta-grudging, that's another matter. It's worth noting that one of the few things you do carry through rounds with you is relationships, and if the same medical staff are being rude/unhelpful towards the CMO then... Well, they're getting demoted, if not brigged, for negligence and going against the chain of command and insubordination and so on... *I don't remember the fine details of space law and each and every brig offence, skree. I generally have THE LAW book when I need it.*
Context is very important.
