An education or getting thorugh a medical school? There is a difference. I never met a dr who could be called an "idiot", I guess I was jusy lucky. I also never met a dr who would force me to take any medication.
I pity drs, not only it is hard to practice medicine that is not "exact science" like math, but it is even harder when there is a bunch of junk science on the web, so everyone can "play doctor". I wonder how many real drs participate in this forum?
BTW,I did not say that folks without a degree are idiots either!

Good grief... If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, the doctor is an idiot. Simple as that. (I think Shakespeare said that. ) Having been around a lot of over-educated people for much of my life, education -even if it's really, really hard- doesn't weed out the idiots. IMO, Docs deserve a lot of the abuse they get for various reasons; I'll not bore you. I can't get motivated to celebrate the fact that not ALL of them are idiots tho.

Kind regards (and taling cheap shots from the peanut gallery)
