Doctors... grr

Went to my ob/gyn today. She is made of awesomeness.

Geoff went to his shrink today. He is... not.

Granted, ob/gyn is a pretty straightforward field, so there isn't much chance of hubris showing up in relation to different ways of doing things, but I find that M.D.s in general tend to have a much more dismissive attitude toward things outside of what they were trained in than D.O.s, N.D.'s, Psy.D.s and Ph.D.s do.

That bothers me.

*deep breath*

But... Everyone is welcome their opinions, no matter how silly or misguided they are. ;-D


(My sense of humor has returned, btw. I'm much less likely to bite now. Just so's you know.)

Try being in a room of mechincal, electrical, systems, and computer engineers...not much different.

Or thinking that they know all there is in the field... That's the part that really gets me. Yes, they know more than me, but they do NOT know all there is to know. Ever.

I've been there, done that, and I actually shudder at the thought of doing so again.
