PROOF!!!! Have you got a clue as to how stupid you sound? If you can't produce the proof, then all you are doing is talking out of your ass and proving that you have an aversion to the truth.

Very true.

I think solletica is playing a game of semantics here. When I was in college, I had a professor say that the only real DOCTORS where the PhDs. The MDs are merely physicians.

Original thinking not required of doctors? Great, in that case, computers can diagnose everything based on test results and we can eliminate physicians.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Unlike you, I don't base my self-worth on degrees. Being a mother and grandmother means far more to me than anything a university can offer. BTW, I quit nursing because my family life was more important.

I see you are still unable to actually support your points or answer the questions I posed.

Why am I not surprised?

In order to do a job, you must have the (relevant) experience to do it.

Being a specialist requires, among other things, identifying the nature of a person's affliction based on limited information, with the answer (to the specific case) seldom being nicely written down in any textbook. Someone who's done original research has that experience.

Someone who hasn't doesn't. No relevant experience->can't do the job, regardless of any legal authorization. Logic 101.

I just proved the point.. To justify their existence, doctors must exhibit original thinking. Because if they didn't, then they could be replaced with computers, since computers can be programmed to do anything that doesn't require original thinking.

almost all of those who became well-published physicians are/were also fathers/mothers and grandfathers/grandmothers.

So the whole notion that one has to sacrifice contributing to science to raise a family is pretty much blown out the water, isn't it?

You don't have to prove a thing about your choice, especially to those who are so tactless as to insinuate anything about your choice.

What's funny is that you act like you're the only person here to have a college degree.

I'm pretty sure a number of us have them...

No, not in the least. According to you, there this near DefCom Level 4 threat in this country of incompetence due to the number of MD w/out PhDs.

Ok, so where are the MD who are getting or have these PhDs, and where are they coming from?

You can't answer because it dismantles your original premise.

This shouldn't really surprise you, since it clearly happens all the time.

And, once again you demonstrate your complete inability to understand the most basic components of the practice of medicine and how they differ from the practice of medical research.



Just out of curiosity, do you actively seek out ways to make yourself look silly, or is this just by random chance?
