Umm, yeah. Just to save people some time, he sums up by saying that doctors don't solve problems but football players do. So, you know. Bullshit.

I mean, his central thesis is: MY job requires problem solving, whereas everybody else's job requires more memorization than football does (which, you know, is a sport that consists largely of continual drilling.)

He didn't say doctors don't solve problems. He said they "don't do much problem solving". He wasn't talking about the result at all. He was talking about the method: mere recalling, or (re)discovery?
