They spent a huge amount of their life dedicated to trying to pass exams from medical books. They believe everything they learned was correct which is why they're indoctrinated beyond belief. A lot of them cannot think for themselves. It's difficult for them to throw it all away by pissing off the administrative staff who "knows more". Some doctors can think for themselves and will stand up but the majority will not.
I've been saying for years that medical doctors are just trade school graduates, not unlike auto mechanics; learn the parts and how they work, learn to diagnose problems, apply the fix listed in the user manual. Critical thinking is far removed from medical school.
I think the problem is that they also believe the medical degree is one of the highest accolades that anyone can achieve since it is put on a pedestal. It is due to this that they have a huge sense of grandeur that is hard to break down. Doctors are by far one of the most stuck up groups of people I have ever met. They believe they know everything because it was vigorous on the academic front.
I agree. It is true that physicians are often very hard working people, who, along with nurses, are exposed to very high stress situations. But a lot of MDs have enormous egos, thinking they're right about everything simply because they got through medical school and have a tough medical practice.
I remember seeing on a forum a few physicians griping about how they "could think of absolutely no other job that has it as hard as we do." I hate this kind of thinking. They blind themselves to the fact that other people might also have grueling work obligations. Attorneys might not see as much blood, for example, but many attorneys work 75-85 hour work weeks at large firms (and make less money than a lot medical specialists). Laborers have easier schedules (if they're in a union at any rate), but it's so much more physically intensive than being a doctor.
Some physicians should keep stuff like this in mind. They aren't the only ones who have it rough, and aren't the only ones who provide a valuable service to society.
Exactly. Every job is different. What some might perceive as easy or difficult may be the exact opposite for others.
I've used that analogy myself but I always point out that cars change and evolve every year. Humans, not so much.
Yep pretty much. They learn what they're taught.
Pergect comparison.?
thats why they are ' hooded ' after graduation .../!
