1. 83.4% of statatics are made up right on the spot.
2. Even at 90%, that is 10% failure. Is it really okay for a doctor to give the wrong medication to 1 out of 10 patients? It's their field of specialty, and they are 10% wrong? We're not talking about a physical performance, we're talking pure knowledge.
3. The thread is about how people feel about their degrees, not necessarily their knowledge in their field of study. There are many people out there, especially Hmong people, who feel a doctor knows everything about everything. They'll take that person's advice over someone else who might actually be more knowledgeable. For another example...
Which fish tastes best? River fish. lake fish, or ocean fish? It's not really an important topic, but people were discussing it. Obviously, people had different opinions.
Lake fish tastes best because they get big. - Person 1.
Ocean fish tastes best because of the salt water. - Person 2
River fish tastes best because they swim more and get more exercise. -The doctor.
Now, if you know anything about food, everyone is kinda wrong. However, when the doctor made his assessment, he was praised for his genius. WTF? Maybe the doctor likes river fish, but his assessment isn't really correct. How the fish is prepared is important. Each person has different tastes. How can you really compare fish n' chips with sushi? They're both good in their own way. Yet, when the doctor made his assessment on a topic not in his specialty, it becomes a universal fact. The degree doesn't make you right.
I have a ton of these stories. Most of them are unimportant. They don't really affect any big issues, but it's a small reflection of how some people think.
A degree that correlates to one's field of specialty does make them more knowledgeable. ..90% of the times to be correct. You can't apply common sense/courtesy to social status...in the example above, the so called doctors have their way of doing things and demanded as such....they lacked courtesy but not knowledge.
if you must teach them a lesson, serve them eggs and noodles cause that's what they ate while obtaining their degree. common courtesy!
