Did someone already post Army vs Navy vs Air Force vs Marines

no because those are not professions

a doctor in the navy is of the same profession as a doctor in the air force, conversely a lawyer in the army is not of the same profession as a mechanic in the army

In most restaurants bartenders have twice the work you do rear end wipe. Not only do we have to make all the waitstaff's drinks we also have our own bar that we are expected to wait on.

this is all true but doctors are far worse and kill many more people with unnecessary care and negligence aimed at maximizing profit. also most doctors are dumb as hell when talking about anything other than medicine because their education is so narrow

Good thing their job is medicine I guess

if you're a doctor and you actually touch the patient you're doing it wrong - unless they also happen to be your caddy then a firm slap on the rump while cleaning your balls between holes is acceptable

since the nurses carry out all those unnecessary orders guess you're goose stepping your way to hell with em

wanna be my caddy?

About 15% of nurses are smart and good at their jobs. Maybe another 25% on top of that are good at their jobs but not smart. The rest are the rest.

About 30% of doctors are smart and good at their jobs. Maybe another 25% on top of that are smart but not good at their jobs. The rest are the rest.

The very best part? Which is which will come out depending entirely on how nice and co-operative you can be while in physical/mental/emotional agony, and whether or not what you're suffering from is anywhere near their wheelhouse of skill and expertise. This is why people following Dr. Oz's advice on nutrition as a surgeon loving baffles me. Yeah he definitely knows a lot more than your everyday jerkoff, but it's not what he's a true expert in.

Almost all of medicine is "If A then B" -- cases where you need to be near their "wheelhouse of expertise" are pretty rare and draw a lot more attention than their overall effect on a population bears out. A decent GP could handle the vast, vast majority of people walking into a hospital and whatever it is that brought them in there. And it's not so much that you be nice and co-operative when under stress, but that you make an effort to do so. Some people turn into loving children because they think they're suffering the calamity of their life and all around them in the hospital there are people who have it ten times worse. If someone tries to buck up, fails to, and then gets huffed at by a provider that's on the provider but there are a ton of really awful patients out there too. For most providers seeing the patient try to be a human being is enough to go above and beyond, less than that and only huge carebears or the brand spanking new really have the ability to issue out genuine compassion to everyone that walks in the door.

Came here to post this. I have identified as all three at various points in my career with my root in physics. The result? Suicidal depression. QED

I've been physics (degrees) x engineer (job) x planetary science (learned on job) x SW architecture (hobby). People tend to get along really well from my experience. Some folks don't believe my work in one of the above but when I find an in-field person to back me it goes over well typically.
