It's selective perception
Think of the NHS like an A-grade student who fucks up sometimes and think of alternative medicine as a waster who has a rare moment of genius. When something we expect great performance from sometimes goes wrong, there's big outrage directed at it. When something we expect fuck all from turns out to do something right, massive praise all round!

I'm sure anyone with a sibling knows how that works.
