That’s funny. As a doctor with a long background in managed care and healthcare policy, I find the healthcare-related comments here painful to read and extremely painted over with know-it—all-ism.

I’ve begun actively avoiding them because of how unpleasantly off-base they are. No one wants to read an entire thread of, well, what you imagine doctors would say if they were discussing programming.

I have a friend with a Chemical Engineering degree. Recently he decided to change careers and go into Med School. He tells me of how it's ridiculous how various concepts in medecine could be replaced by a simpler one from physics. If I remember correctly he gave an example about fluids. (I believe he could revolutionize the field of medecine)

As I wrote in another reply, I guess I was wrong about assuming humility in others.

I call BS. I know I'm an insufferable know it all at times. Many of my coworkers past and present were/are as well. Furthermore software's image is skyrocketing.

Ok. Agreed.

Have you read the comments on non-programming issues in here?

It's hilariously full of "well obviously the solution to X is Y" for things outside the author's area of expertise.

I assumed wrongly. I guess I thought most programmers were as I am.
