I'm a last year med student. Medicine has barely anything to do with science. My peers are stacies, status hungry nerds or retards. Everyone is a turbo-normie in healthcare. And even advances in medicine are not done by doctors. Our dissertations are jokes. We don't know much about the statistics used in medical papers. Managing LaQuisha's T2DM, CAD, osteoarthritis and... because she won't stop eating is not a fulfilling job. Treating STDs is not fulfilling.

How do I cope with not being a based math PhD or physicist?

If it took you that long to realize, all hope is lost.

Your doctor? What do you mean? You have a pet PhD?

As a /sci/ guy, I always have jealousy towards doctors. I hate all doctors because I have a massive inferiority complex towards them further perpetuated by the "status hungry nerds" you mention. Also with with normies posting to Instagram to salute doctors dealing with COVID-19.

I just feel that the general public does not respect mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, and engineers enough. People look at math majors (and simmilar profesisons) as "just a bunch of nerds." I witnessed a person who did not finish high school tell a math Ph.D that he "is not a real doctor."

Also, just out of curiosity, are there normal, well-adjusted people in medicine? Or are they all massive nerds with no lives. Undergrad CS majors are quite bad. Math/phys majors are okay. grad students are typically most "normal". I see lots of stacies and chads in law tho

fren, i don't mean to be a dick or nothing but it was apparent to me that doctors were rote memory midwits ever since i started visiting clinics and hospitals as early as hs. now i'm convinced all the most "mentally grueling" work in medical practice can be easily automated with some decision trees. ofc because of moravec's paradox getting the robot to do invasive operations may be tricky, but the actual intellectual side of things some well made dts could easily take care of. and don't get me started on nurses, literal brainlet tier retards. it's funny how much brainlet normies overvalue medical professionals intellectually, they literally think it's like an episode of house or something. lmao. but then again they are even more retarded so i guess every thing is relative. all this said you still got a valuable degree but now you're aware how little that appeal to authority paper is worth in the intellectual grand scheme of things.

Is it too late to quit? I'm 24.5. Am I too old for math? Live and study in Iran.

No, but stay in Iran. Can't stand Iranian people and you come here in droves.

99.9% of people have no idea about their field of study, everyone fakes knowledge or understanding, that includes math, physics, everything.
the only people who understand stuff are the one in a million geniuses who graduate at 12, being dumb is just a human thing
