OBs: "Fake surgeons"?

That’s another glaring example of how medical students know less than nothing.

I’m sure those fake MD OBGYNs have forgotten more than he’ll ever learn about the field.

Yo, Half: Psychiatrists can manage hypertension and diabetes. That pays too little, wastes their time, when less trained people, such as nurse practitioners, do an excellent job of that basic medical treatment.

Let’s see you manage a schizophrenic who beat up the police, running about naked, in a foot of snow.

This is not well known. Psychiatry is just about the highest paid medical specialty, when done properly. I include a comparison to such lucrative fields as a plastic surgery practice in Hollywood. That is an endorsement of its value as a medical specialty, by the public.

This Half MD looks about right for what we can expect for our next generation of physicians. They’ll work half as hard (56 hour work week residency limitations looming) and know half as much, yet still feel that they know everything.

The sad thing is that they won’t realize how much they don’t know.
