    It’s like the doctors and nurses who are antivax they are not oxymorons, they are fucking morons

      I still remember working for a medical office during the beginning of COVID and seeing MULTIPLE SURGEONS wear shit like masks that say “this mask does nothing”, which makes me question their credentials or the crackerjack box they got their doctorate from.

        Always figured surgeons are just really well educated mechanics, and don’t necessarily need to grasp the biology in the same way chemists and internal medicine practitioners might.

          Yeah I think it’s very interesting that doctors and surgeons follow so much of the same curriculum, when they actually need completely different skill sets.

            y interesting that doctors and surgeons follow so much of the same curriculum, when they actually need completely different skill sets.

            it’s the Anglo-Saxon way of distinguishing doctors and surgeons. Everybody else consider all surgeons doctors. Officially. The germanic way is to divide it to surgical medicine and conservative medicine (as in practicing medicine while conserving the integrity of bodily barriers).

            That said, my favorite response from the surgical instructors in med school when we told them we don’t want to be surgeons: “Ohh, so you wanna be an intellectual?!”

            Still cracks me up.
