Sort of. I got a biology degree which meant I spent a lot of time in and out of class with “pre med” students. It was a program my school was known for and significant portion of the student population. Of the 100 or so students I saw daily my senior year more than half are now doctors. And about of quarter of them do shit like this.
They aren’t dumber or richer than anyone else, they just realized that you can gather a very large pile of money by selling bullshit to rubes.
She’s been out of school for too long. She probably a GP, which has a wealth of knowledge on all subjects but very little specific knowledge. Ask experts, not unqualified quacks.
She’s actually an ENT, but it really doesn’t matter what your specialty is. Mnra vaccines are new enough that unless you are actively researching them or are in a specialty like infections disease, most MD’s aren’t really going to be very familiar with them.
I specialize in orthopedics and rehabilitation, I know about bones, joints and the things that connect to bones and joints… If anyone asks me about vaccines I’m going to refer them to someone who actually really knows what they’re talking about.
I don’t trust the vaccines because I went to med school. I trust the vaccines because my colleagues in infectious disease trust the vaccines and this is what they do all day.
Like 30.to 40 years old at this point. One of the reasons they where able to do the COVID vaccine so quickly. Could you imagine if they just did them from scratch considering one of the side effects the lady who was working on them had to overcome was burning. Could you imagine the freakout if the COVID vaccine burned.
And who cares if they’re new a vaccine is a vaccine. The basic principal is the same.
I’m in my late 30s and feel that way about the schools I went to. I studied chemistry and while some of the material was good most of my grades were about teacher pleasing and completing arbitrary assignments.
They cared more about layout and formatting than about actual content in project reports.
Edit: I think the main purpose of higher schools is not to learn but to prepare you for corporate life. Accept whatever task is given no matter how stupid or wasteful it is.
Also don’t challenge authority because your grades will suffer and if you do it too much you’ll fail.
Absolutely. Universities went from institution that’s taught you how to think outside the box to a place that teaches you how to fill positions at a lab/office/whatever. They don’t want you inventing the future, they want you filling their prescriptions or fixing their phones. It might lead into the old adage that those who don’t know how to do, teach? I don’t buy that, but still…
For instance, would you disagree that the “therapist” part of the title seems a tad less important when there’s something like “orgone” preceding it? Changes the nature, the credibility of what comes after it, no?
I’m not saying medical doctors are into pseudoscience, but we are joking about how badly trained and seemingly unintelligent some of them are. And pointing out “general practitioner” also shows that the doctor didn’t specialise, which sometimes is because of lack of ability.
In Finnish a health clinic is “terveyskeskus”, “health centre”, but a lot of people have come to call them “arvauskeskus” ~ “guessing centre”.
The people who actually excel at med schools rarely get stuck at that level and most of the doctors there are like late 20’s without experience or specialisation and the “intellectual rigour” they put into their work is… unimpressive, at best.
It’s more like they’re using a flow chart for every single thing and can’t understand a word you’re saying.
I respect people who try, and I respect that doctors can still be learning.
But when they literally mess up nine times out of ten and don’t even know the basic directions they’re supposed to give me for specific lab tests, then they are not skilled enough. Better to have none than to have them fucking it up even further.
When testing for gluten antibodies and before a gastroscopy for celiacs, you’re supposed to be on a gluten containing diet for at least 6-12 weeks. I wasn’t aware of that, but did realise to ask the doctor if me having completely avoided gluten for more than a year would affect the result. “No it won’t affect the result.”
Then I go and give it, and then also google the testing procedure. Every single source says that you need at least two weeks of gluten exposure and >95% of them say 6-12 weeks. I bring this politely to the attention of the doctor. She completely dismisses me and then does some office bullshit so she doesn’t have to see me anymore.
And I’ve honestly started running out of politeness, since it’s been like almost four decades and they’re still having problems with absolutely trivial basic shit. Mostly it’s because of the system that’s conditioned them into acting that way, not their inherent traits.
So it’s not like their education has been entirely wasted, but someone needs to teach them how to think. One should think that critical faculties would be a requirement in being a practicing doctor, but hey-ho, doesn’t seem to apply.
Is she actually an MD?
…that is scary.
If you pay a University enough money, they’ll give you any title or degree you want.
Case in point, Trump has an economics degree from Wharton.

Yeah like where is her degree from? They should be ashamed.

Honestly I think schools these days are a test of patience and a test of playing social games. Not intelligence.

Bang on. Grifters go around finding someone who will agree with their grift. They didn’t ask any doctor, they asked one who would agree with them.

Think that entirely depends on the school/program
What do you call a med student that got a 1.5 GPA?
Doctor
“Doctor”?
I think you mean “GP”, as in “general practitioner.”
Don’t bring the PhDs into this. Captain Holt would not approve.

Interesting. Do your general practicioners not have doctorates? I wonder what that D stands for in the MD behind her name…
Ofc they do. But the specifier matters.
For instance, would you disagree that the “therapist” part of the title seems a tad less important when there’s something like “orgone” preceding it? Changes the nature, the credibility of what comes after it, no?
