why are med students and doctors such stuck up cunts who think

>>8441714
They know every one of those things relevant to general human disease and their own patient populations [in a specific area].
Nutritionists would be a but too specific in some ways but I agree they are more important. pharmacy is redundant, only ones doing the actual work or researchers who actually develop shit. >Sports medicine and biologist
lol. way to broad and it depends on the specialty. All I hear is a butthurt Med lab technician upset about their shit pay lol

Tell me who rustled your jimmies and I'll give you an honest answer.

Get back to me when you get a MD and PHD, brainlet.

Can one of y'all make a program that spits out possible diagnoses when you input symptoms? Would solve the stupid doctor problem overnight.

Lab testing is very close to this. It's why docs ask for a lot of bloodwork and biopsies.

>make a program
>program
LOL what it like knowing you fell for the CS meme?

MD-PhD student here (PhD in microbiology).
I obviously don't know how things are in your country, but at least here it is absolutely not true. Many doctors are definitely stuck-up cunts, but we have nutritionists/dietitians in all hospitals, and we send the patients to them to decide their menus. What the doctors do know though, is what foods to definitely avoid due to drug/disease interactions and what foods might generally help, so they can give good guidelines. For sports medicine, there are doctors who spepcialize in this, and their level of understanding is astounding, other doctors won't presume to know too much except which of their patients should rest and which of their patients should "work out". A possible exception is orthopedists who can tell you which joints and muscles you should avoid stressing.
I will dedicate a separate post to microbiology, since it's my field.

As for microbiology, since I study both microbiology as a PhD and medicine, I can tell you the knowledge doctors and researchers have in this field is incredibly different (more than any other field IMO). In my MD we studied all the pathogenic bacteria/viruses/fungi/protozoa/helminths very thoroughly. We learned all their pathogenic mechanisms, the clinical courses of the diseases, the variability, etc. We learned exactly how effective each class of antibiotic is (or other drugs), what the doses are, what is used in different situations (pregnancy, allergies
), etc. When I just started my PhD break I was shocked by how much more I knew about this than all the microbiologists in our department, but it's because they focus on something completely different. They know things like taxonomy really well, the spectrum of the bacteria that exist, they know the basic biology really well and understand how they generally act in a culture. They know a lot less about specific microorganisms, but have a far deeper understanding of the different possibilities and mechanisms underlying the behavior of all microorganisms.
Both infectious disease doctors and microbiology professors have a lot of knowledge, but the two seem to have little in common.

Because nutrition is a meme degree. And Biology is for people who couldn't cut it for medicine. Sport science is for jocks.

If I wanted to do labour all day instead of research I'd be a car mechanic, not a doctor.
