Wibble I'd say I've been here long enough to get a handle on what your basic beliefs and opinions tend to be (they're mostly right, by the way
I have been preparing myself for an end that may be more supernatural than I'm comfortable with. I just hope is works within the fiction that they have created.
Not a Lost fan then Spoons? So far it has been highly compulsive popcorn TV.
Yet to watch the last season, I personally wasn't happy with the way they ended season 5
No spoilers preferred and if you must please use spoiler tags. And by please I mean .....
I was only joking with that one Wibbs.do you find jack annoying ?
I find his knowledge about all things doctorish, pregnancyish and opticianish suspicious considering he's a surgeon.
biggest understatement ever.
Don't worry Zarlak, he can fix you.
Chris Martin told me that once, I'm still waiting.
Yeah, me too, because when you go to med school and decide to be a surgeon that's actually the ONLY thing you learn in your many years of med school, internship and residency (in Sweden, 12 years). True story.
Or not. Obviously he would have some sort of knowledge about everything, with spinal surgery being his speciality (something a GP could never do). Didn't see anything wrong with him knowing those things, a doctor should know all that aside from his speciality. It's not like he performed laser surgery on someone's eyes. He diagnosed head-aches as a sight impairment, which wasn't really something you have to be an optician / eye specialist to know.
Someone who studies medicine does not know everything about medicine. That's why you have different kinds of doctors, that's why doctors aren't surgeons and surgeons aren't doctors. That's why you have nurses, doctors, pediatricians etc etc, he knows everything there is to know about anything that could happen to you and how to deal with any medical emergency.
Erm, he doesn't know everything, but in order to get through med school you have to pass exams on all different kinds of areas involving the human body, so you would have extensive knowledge on them without being a specialist. In Sweden, you don't choose your specialization until your residency, which is after five and a half years of med school and then another year and a half of internship (after which you need to pass a test to be able to do your residency). During those seven years, you don't think he'd have enough knowledge in eye medicine to be able to correlate a head-ache to bad vision? If you don't think that then you're out on thin ice. I mean, a surgeon is a surgeon because that's his speciality, but all specialities have the same base education of seven years. So, for instance, a pediatrician and a surgeon would have their respective specialities, but they would both know pretty much about each field of medicine anyway.
So it's pretty stupid when you say that a pediatrician isn't a doctor, because you'll find that they are pretty knowledgeable in fields outside of their speciality. I think it's your perception of what a doctor should and shouldn't know that needs changing, not the show's perception of it. I thought it was perfectly fine.
If a pediatrician, surgeon etc is not a doctor, then what is a doctor? Is a doctor, by your school of thought, only a general practitioner? By the same logic, is a defense attorney not a lawyer?
