Jam -“Medical school does not designate to vaccines the appropriate time it actually deserves. Doctors do not study vaccines in great detail in medical school. It’s a shame.”
I got news for you – they don’t study anything that needs a lot of time, which is most medical subjects!
As it is, they don’t make enough money to practice & you want to increase their schooling?
Are you offering to subsidize medical schooling?
“Unless a doctor took the time to do his/her own research, they are not very knowledgeable on the topic. That is an important fact to bare in mind.”
I’d change your comment a little bit – Unless a medical professional took the time to do his/her own research, they are not very knowledgeable on ANY topic. That is an important fact to bare in mind.
“Not too long ago I personally questioned a pediatrician on one of the routine vaccines. (This is a very experienced pediatrician, practicing for over 20 years, his diagnosis are always on target).
His response was “Did you go to medical school?!?! I sat through all those years of medical school, so why do you think you know better than me!”
“My translation: You don’t have an answer to my question. To avoid answering you are becoming defensive and making me feel uncomfortable challenging/questioning your medical authority. You are also discouraging me from asking questions in the future.”
Your interpretation is correct!
“That was the last time I saw that doctor”
I got news for you – Good luck on finding a better one!
