yes, there are a ton of stupid people in the medical world. i suspect it's because many of the lower level professionals receive their educations at places like vaterrott and u of pheonix online.
not to bust on people who have dergrees from these kinds of places, but even you must know that many of the programs are, well, a joke. sure, you do get training in a specific field, but general education and common sense are not so much encouraged.
alas, we must deal all the same. the phenom is limited to low level professionals, however. the pulmonologist at my county hospital looked me square in the eye and said
"who told you you have cf?"
i tried to convince myself he was asking where i was diagnosed, but i was never successful. needless to say, i don't see this pulmo anymore.
