> MDs are not scientists

?

Medicine is science.

The definition of “scientist” includes someone learned in science, and so a physician absolutely is a scientist. Traditionally trained physicians learn physics and chemistry, biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, and later, anatomy and physiology basics.

But I suppose if MDs had any brains they would have forgone medical school and just got an HN account. Then they could have known everything instead of merely diseases and drugs.

Its hardly a science, you can look up the arguments but I'm not the only one that says this. Covid is over, we can stop worshiping the medical field..

And if trying to take physics and organic chem at a community college during the summer so that the "hard classes" dont pull down their GPA is hardly a training in what you think science is.

I'm not trying to demean them, but its not their job to understand the complexities of these drugs. I know alot of MDs and I can guarantee you they would agree. I've had these conversations with them before. Bottom line, they wouldn't be the first ones to ask if I wanted to experiment on myself with some new chemical.
