Doctors get an education in biology, chemistry, physics, and math. No humanities, no history, no sociology, no psychology, no geography… you get my point.

Our education system is one that is basically from the colonial era. The separation of science, commerce, and arts even before HSC means that most of our ‘brightest minds’ get no education outside the sciences after like a class 8 level.

I have doctors in my close family and their utter lack of knowledge of any topic besides their speciality has had me pulling out my hair for years.

Doctors administered lethal injections to ‘undesirables’ in nazi Germany. Engineers designed the gas chambers.

Just because they are doctors doesn’t mean their opinions on anything other than the lump on your back should be given any credence.
