Drs are idiots, NOT!
Sorry for the rant, I just can't help it.
I see many posts when MDs are called "idiots" and things like "every idiot can become an MD". sMyself, I only have master's degree in electrical engineering and process controls. But I know what it takes to go through pre-med and medical schools, and then pass board exam, and hjave courage to treat human beings. So, I wonder what is a background of those forum members who call ppl who went though 8 years of schools, 3 years of Internship, and passed board exam, "idiots"?
Some drs are more informed than others in terms of nutriotion, but it does not mean they are idiots if they are concerned with their patient diets . As it turnes out, nutrition is not a science per se, and if it is, it is still very young and new, confusing, and must be tailored to individual needs. I wonder if those that call drs names with ease, can compare their work with sonmeone who can performs a by-pass surgery, or an angiogram, or any surgery of any kind? I have great respect to folks who have enough courage even to try something like this, and who went through a lot of troubles and sacrifices, got huge loans to pay just to be called "idiots" for something they happend to know better by folks who read few books on nutriotion (written by other drs) and think they know everything better.
Just my 2 cents.
