While many of those were typos, there were enough there to make you wonder what the doc was thinking when they wrote it. Job before last I wrote medical software, and dealt with a lot of docs. I would say most were of average intelligence but usually with poor people and communication skills. Rather than the gods or just very intelligent people that many people think them to be, they are usually just above average trained human body technicians. I wouldn't put most of them on the level of an engineer. The difference in my mind is that a tech knows some sub-system fairly well and can work with/on it, while an engineer knows not only the whole system, but could design it if neccessary.

In short, I was not impressed - I have met many more smart people in my profession, and in others than in the medical profession. Sorry if I stepped on some toes, but that is my opinion, and it is based on having dealt with a lot of medical staff of varying specialities.

Maybe that's why that first cup of coffee in the morning winds up mostly running down the side of the pot onto the counter, or when I flick my cigarette into the ashtray in the car the ashes are blown away by the air conditioning directly above the ashtray....or my van has to have the engine jacked out of it to replace the three back sparkplugs!

*Highjack* over.

I didn't say they would design it well, just that they could. How many mechanics have you seen that have designed and built their own car, from scratch? Coming back to software, which is my chosen profession, a tech could install/fix/setup software, and engineer could design and create it (and install/fix/setup if they had to). That is the difference between a tech and an engineer.

Hmhh you don't happen to own a ford do you??? That sounds like an Areostar to me.


Edit to say.

Now that I think about it that could be a Chevy Astrovan or a Full size chevy fan too.

Did you know that the official dealership procedure for changing all the plugs in a 93 and up camaro is to remove the entire engine

does anyone have that transcript of the lawyer questioning the doctor in a murder case?

"now, you are quite sure the victim was dead at the time of autopsy?"
"yes, quite sure."
"and, to the best of your knowledge they are deceased now as well?"
"i'm pretty certain, yes."
"and you know this because..."
"well, their brain is in a jar in the examining room."
"i see. there is no way then, that they could still be alive?"
"well i suppose they could be alive and off practicing law somewhere."
