All professionals need to look things up on a regular basis.

Only an idiot doesn't think it takes a professional education to understand the information.

I've watched doctors pull entire diagnoses from webmd. I've seen a doctor get paid seven figures to spend an average of five whole minutes with each of their patients because they're too busy "researching" the issues in their office (no, that does NOT include the patients that their nurses saw without them). I watched a freaking surgeon come into the doctor's lounge, look up a youtube video on how to perform a particular surgical technique, then return to the OR.

I say again; It's a God damned travesty they get paid what they do.

That is normal for them to look up stuff. I’m glad we have the technology so they can look up and refer stuff on the go.

I’m not a doc, but I still look up stuff on an everyday basis for my profession and I’m glad I have the means to.

Medicine has new information pouring in everyday and doctors never stop learning- its a ongoing process for the rest of their lives
