I guess to protect doctors. However, patients don't wear them. I've had several operations and never had to wear a mask. You would have to concede that a person walking next to you at a grocery store is a far cry from a doctor or a dentist placing their head within a foot or so from a patient's body. It's apples and oranges.
I've used the comparison before, but masks are merely a feel good measure, much like metal detectors at airports.
