That's what I don't get. She had to have studied physics, and magnetism. Microbiology, virology, and vaccines would all have been in her curriculum. What happened? The license wasn't suspended because of all that, tho'. It was the doctors unwillingness to cooperate with her state medical board, given they had 350! complaints against her license. As a licensed physician, for reasons related to our oath of practice, and as a small business person, for reasons of not sending the business one has built over years over a cliff, I just cannot comprehend this doctor's actions. smh.
I’ve observed something for awhile, and I’m not quite sure how to explain it.
I work in a hospital. Not part of the clinical staff, I’m in a support role. I’ve listened to some of the clinical staff say extremely odd things given the education they had to go through to get where they are. They had to have absorbed some of the curriculum while in med school, so they had some level of understanding of the science behind it. They are textbook smart, but there seems to be some odd disconnect between what they’ve learned in school and their applied knowledge in the real world. It’s very bizarre and I don’t know if I’m explaining what I mean very well..
Surgical tech here. This shit is prevalent at every level of every job. The last few years have taught us not to automatically respect the title "doctor" - they can be extremely knowledgeable in the context of their field, but still a fucking dumbass in other areas. This is true of nurses, techs, admins, you name it.
Generally you can trust what your orthopedic surgeon has to say about bones, but the second he starts ranting about epidemiology, safest assumption is that he did his 'research' on truth social and fox.
Yep. All the way up to the very top. If I needed advanced neurosurgery, I'd go straight to Ben Carson. If I needed absolutely anything else in the entire world, I'd go the opposite direction.
Memorization is a skill humans are generally really, really good at. If you put in enough time, there's a good chance you'll be able to regurgitate what you put in, both in words and actions. That's enough to get you through most schooling. When you step outside of memorization is when people like this run into trouble.
This is the state of medicine in this country: she wasn’t even censured for being obviously batshit insane, just for refusing to submit to the medical boards investigation.
The state medical board indefinitely suspended her license Wednesday, saying she refused for over two years to cooperate with the board's investigation of over 350 complaints against her, which suggested possible violations of state medical regulations.
good. this is why i always get a 2nd opinion on things if something doesn't sound right. as far as i'm concerned, having a license means that you can pass a test, that's it. nothing more.
