How much did the anesthesiologist help, above that baseline?
I assume you're referring to your ex's exam to become Board Certified in her specialty, which, if you are, makes this statement incredibly hard to believe.
A specialty's Board exam is comprised of simulated cases from that specialty. Your ex wouldn't have to prep for geriatric internal medicine or stroke rehab in pm&r. Basically everything asked in the exam for board certification is related to one's specialty.
It is not a general exam like the STEP exams.
I can so relate to this when I look back at 4 years I spent studying for a CS degree. The first year had just 3 subjects out of 17 that had something to do with CS. The rest were wildly off the mark. Like engineering drawing, metal workshop, and what not. The second year was slightly better but just. It was crammed with electronics; and only from the 4th semester did things took a definitive turn towards CS topics. I'm sure the curriculum designers had a certain plan in mind but this was devised something like ~60 years ago, when engineering meant mostly civil engineering.
This was all 20 years ago, and I recently checked the syllabus out of curiosity, and no it's not changed one bit. One precious year of learning period down the drain.
This is common to all professional disciplines.

are you really claiming that "redir_mobile_desktop" or anything afterwards is an affiliate tag?
You can choose to believe what I wrote, or not. But it's inappropriate to try to put words in my mouth.
Either way, I'm not interested in arguing with random griefers in the internet.
Her friends from residency thought similarly. That's just a few data points and maybe some doctors are helped, but it definitely isn't every doctor.
