How's it feel becoming obsolete in the next 2 years when nanotechnology and genetic engineering is mainstream?

Yeah I can't wait for my med insurance to pay off those ludicrously expensive nanotechnology procedures done to me in the next 2 years. Oh wait

too much, stop it you, that's silly.
religious organizations have too much political and social influence to allow those to go mainstream. look at what they did with the use of human stem cells for research, god forbid the aborted fetus gets something productive done with it aside from going into the trash.
planned parenthood ditching fetuses to research foundations?
>oh no! that's unchristian and uncivilized!
seriously it's a waste to let them go to the trash, it's got a use in research.
god knows as soon as genetic modification to adult humans becomes possible to be done and expressed, religion will be all over that shit talking about
>muh jesus
>muh bible
>playing god
fuck this planets stupid population holding science back with greed and stupid religious ideations

kek no. house is about crazy rare desease of the week. most patients you will encounter will have ordinary stuff like diabetes, heart deseases, flu, neurological disorders like morbus parkinson etc.

and that show with mcdreamy? kek they glorify surgeons it's ridiculous. all they show is good looking surgeons who can do almoust anything from diagnosis to managing a fucking hospital.
also hospitals are full of nurses, tech people and loads of other staff that get ignored completely in grey's anatomy.

believe it or not but scrubs is actually quite realistic at showing what it's like working in a hospital.

Moreover, what does the scientific community at large think of medicine as a science? Always wondered that one.

>> No.7445032

>>7445019
medicine is a science. but not a natural science.
where i live med students need to write a dissertation as well before they are allowed to call themselves dr. whatever.
the funny part is that medical dissertations are short as fuck and med students only need 6-12 months for it. many of them even start before they graduate.
while in every other natural science you gotta sit in lab for 3-5 years before you can even think about having a PhD and calling yourself a doctor. needless to say that med students are smug as hell about it and they get lots of hate from natural science students.

i respects doctors for treating patients but as scientist they aren't worth shit. everything about lab work they learn, can be done by a biochemist, chemist, pharmacist, biologist as well.

yes i'm a bit mad, their work hours after graduation suck major dick though.

Nice annon.

But, judging from your starting date it seems you're in the US, if so RIP debt. Come to based Australia, the only shit thing about our med is the amount of foreign chinks attending.
