What do you call a doctor who graduated last in his med school class? Doctor.

All doctors are google docs. I worked in a hospital behind the scenes. I've seen how they operate. It's a God damned travesty they get paid what they do.

Edit: Lol, I found the doctors who are on reddit!

Anecdotal of course, but I would let some people who graduated near the bottom of my dental school class work on my teeth before some who graduated in the top 10. Class ranking ultimately doesn’t mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.

I mean depends on education system of course but I hope/assume that the ones who graduated at “the bottom” still showed that they had learned and mastered “enough” to pass the level of required skills to get a medical degree.

Compared with the ones who didn’t graduate, even the ones who are at the “bottom” of the graduated ones should be competent enough to be a doctor. (Otherwise what’s the point with test people has to pass).

With that said unfortunately even in a good education system there probably are unprofessional/immoral doctors who weasel their way through

Top third of the class make great scientists, middle third make great physicians, bottom third make great money.

it doesn't work that way. If they passed they are smart enough to be a doctor. If they passed but are at the bottom, they are still smart enough to be a doctor but just means there are other smarter people

so you expect doctors to know every single illness and treatment now and in the future without ever having to reference something? Of course they look things up whether that's a textbook or an online journal or database

Doctor. Same as what you call the guy that finished last in their medical school class.

The schooling isn’t as important as you think , top or bottom, still pass, still doctor . The training, the residency is the key to their success.

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
