LOL @ people that think doctors are smart. Engineers > doctors

[wonderbro]

scientists. scientists =/= doctors.

Age: 22

Retard. Many MD's become researchers and PhD's etc.

[HelloImEcto]

Doctors are smart, they picked the job that pays 5x better

Basically this, and I'm neither.

[DolobMe]

Go ahead, go memorize 1000 chemical reactions. It's much easier for someone with high intelligence to understand the concept than to memorize.

lol if you think you can memorize your way through med school.

Also, engineers are using formulas that they themselves didn't create, if anything you should be saying Pure Mathematicians > Doctors

[Caxoo]

i don't wanna sacrifice years of my life memorizing stuff. that's all medical students do. they sit down and read and memorize the things they read. no critical thinking or intelligence is required. just a lot of sacrificed time memorizing a bunch of facts.

I mean, you know that it only involves memorization and isn't intellectually challenging at all because you've done it yourself, right? You definitely wouldn't pass judgement on them with no actual knowledge whatsoever

[Kraken]

scientists. scientists =/= doctors.

LMAO many researchers are MDs. You're an idiot.

[kpxl1023]

who the fuk cares *******?

[HighHurdler]

Not sure if srs OP.

so tell me what else med students do besides memorize. oh wait you can't because that's all they do. you don't have to be smart to memorize stuff. kindergarteners can memorize the alphabet. medical students just sacrifice years of their life to MEMORIZE STUFF. THAT'S NOT INTELLIGENCE.

[Lightsout13]

Engineers are just learning formulas mathematicians created

Not true, they have to learn physics which combines advanced math with science as well as some computer/drafting skills

Doctors=sits on ass all day and tells people whats up based on what PAs tell him.

[SamasUtuNergal]

cool bro.

[Procrastinatty]

Cant really say one is smarter than the others but engineers do use more critical analysis. And by memorising a lot of content, you would have to be pretty smart, or at least not dumb.

[1harud1]

because i have a life and don't wanna sit down for years memorizing textbooks like a loser nerd. engineers are way smarter than doctors because they actually use critical thinking.

is there critical thinking involved in being a doctor? a patient shows up with certain symptoms. what does a doctor do? he just goes back in his memory to what those symptoms lead to. that's it. it's just A LOT of memorization.

What's Ur point op

if i wanted to sacrifice years of my life and lock myself in the library for 12 hours a day just memorizing stuff i could do it. the thing is i have a life.

[Andrei93]

Also strong confusion on what the difference of smarts vs knowledge ITT...

[whatbrah]

you know what medical school is? it's just a bunch of memorization. doctors aren't smart. they're just the people willing to not have a life for a few years and sit down and just memorize stuff. then when a patient walks in with symptoms they just go back into their memory to come up with the solution. that's not intelligence. that's just someone sacrificing their social life for a few years to memorize facts.

engineers are the intelligent people that use critical thinking to make new designs.

truth.

you know what engineering school is? it's just a bunch of plug and chug. engineers aren't smart. they're just people willing to not have a life for a few years and sit down and just memorize equations. then when a real problem needs solving they have to resort to their textbooks to find the equation for the solution. that's not intelligence. that's just someone sacrificing their social life for a few years to learn how to do algebra on equations.

mathematicians and physicists are the intelligent people that use critical thinking to solve problems.

truth.

Doctors gonna make nearly a 100k more than you. srs.

If they specialize they can 500k +

[Dan916]

never met a socially awkward doctor/med student... engineering students on the other hand.

this x1million lol

[spamwithbacon]

i would go as far as to say that engineers are the smartest people on earth

[Kraken]

Mid levels aren't utilized in all facilities. In fact, a majority don't use them. When they are utilized, it's for efficiency. Very few times are they used for he doc to be lazy. Do you realize how many people actually dont need to see a doctor that come to see the doctor or need something minor that a PA can handle?

[Lightsout13]

Doctors are waaayyyyyyyyyyyyy overrrated, who designed your medical equipment? Who built your schools?

[HighHurdler]

meds student u mad? yeah u mad.

just accept that you guys aren't smart. you're just part of the small percentage of people willing to memorize textbooks.

[MightyGains]

Doctors are waaayyyyyyyyyyyyy overrrated, who designed your medical equipment? Who built your schools?

Contractors

[SteadyWayfarer]

engineers are also the most socially awkward. Brb you are the people you surround yourself with. No thanks Jeff. Also who cares?

[pTrillz]

lawl @ dum engineers...mathematicians is where it's at

[HardWiredZ]

And here we go

[YellowOnYellow]

Engineer that wished he was a doctor crew.

[sliceofbread]

I have experience in both of these fields and I hate to break it to you but you are off base here.

Just because something has math in it doesn't make it hard. Also, I'm guessing you've never read a step 1 question. It's like a question inside of a question inside of a question. The level of critical thinking you have to do is insane. There is no set formula that you can memorize and apply to medicine, that's just not how it works.

And let's be reality, medicine is only 18 billion times more competitive. An engineer can be a total derptard and still get a job, which rly isn't the case for being an MD. On average the doctors will be much smarter

[Kraken]

This has been posted before, but worth a post in every retarded thread like this.

[HardWiredZ]

Engineers apply their knowledge for innovation and or/improvement.

[Kaduceus]

mhm

uh huh

yeah

okay

[HighHurdler]

Engineer that wished he was a doctor crew.

be proud you're actually smart.
