Though he had been asked about climate change, he continued, "As far as evolution is concerned, you know, I do believe in micro-evolution, or natural selection, but I believe that God gave the creatures he made the ability to adapt to their environment. Because he's very smart and he didn't want to start over every 50 years." (More applause.)

And later in his three-minute response, he said, “Just the way the Earth rotates on its axis, how far away it is from the sun. These are all very complex things. Gravity, where did it come from?”

It's not uncommon for doctors to be very very good at what they do, just total idiots outside of it. I know someone who is a PharmD, and they are practically computer illiterate. See also: any other profession that requires a metric fuckload of training or education, such as military or athletics.

That said, I would legit trust Carson to operate on my brain in his prime, but I wouldn't want him anywhere near the Resolute Desk (unfortunately, he's pretty close to it).

Yeah when you get to that level of specificity in a field and have to spend literally all of your time focusing on it, pretty much everything else gets shoved out of your brain. If I had needed brain surgery when he was practicing I would have loved Ben to have operated on me but I also wouldn't trust him to be able to figure out how to fix a leaky faucet.

I mean there is a significant difference between a neurosurgeon and a neurologist. He doesn't need to know how it works (which is apparently actually the case), just how to cut. His whole career just consisted of cutting poo poo out of brains. If one really cared, you could probably do a real deep dive into his cases and discover that he is mostly just a charlatan with good fine motor skills.

Anyway, I bet jeff fisher could perform brain surgery just as well. 7-9 is a pretty good result when doing a hemispherectomy anyway.

Neurosurgery is maybe the hardest, longest medical path and basically only the smartest/most insane students get into that residency. it's four years of med school plus 7 years of residency PLUS 2-3 years of specializing. There's a ton of overlap between neurology and neurosurgery, but neurology in a lot of ways is closer to psychiatry.

To put another way, a neuro surgeon learns a lot more about neurology than a neurologist learns about neuro surgery.

Georgia tech and emory do this duel ME/MD program. I met the guy when I shadowed at Emory. He got his undergrad from somewhere, got his masters in electrical engineering from tech, went to med school at emory, and was just starting his neuro residency. loving nuts.

like cardio surgery is the only thing comparable as far as how loving insane the training is. it's also the coolest drat thing ive ever seen in my life.

i got to watch a bunch of doctors get rid of a heart blockage. basically they run a cath up the femoral artery to the heart and blast dye into it. on the wall is a screen, and the patient is under an x ray machine. when they squirt the dye, the xray machine fires like 10 times a second, so you get to see all the arteries and veins of the heart illuminated for a brief second before the dye is worked out.

then they quickly find the blockage, tell the person (who's just sedated) that they found the blockage and they're just going in to get it real fast.

it was the most amazing thing i'd ever seen and i wish an 18 year old me had gotten the opportunity because it would have no poo poo inspired me.

This is something I think about a lot. It's virtually impossible to know whether or not you'll enjoy a job until you do it. No one's description or Wikipedia entry will give you the necessary insight. Worse still, the only thing that comes close is shadowing and it's so incredibly rare that most of us either didn't know it was a possibility or didn't get that opportunity. I wonder where a lot of us would've ended up with a little more insight into possible careers.

Now you're just some QB that I used to know
Neurosurgery residents can actually take their board exams after their 4th year, and many do. By then they have the knowledge base, but still need experience and to build up skills.

Also, I know his politics are dumb, but he is a brilliant surgeon who developed methods and techniques to operate on patients we used to consider inoperable. He was the first person to have his patient survive a tumor resection out of the posterior fossa of the cranium.

There's a german word for people who are a brilliant at a discipline but idiots at everything else: fachidiot


Really though it just shows the danger of hyper specialists. They become incredible at one specific thing but don't have the broader knowledge base or critical thinking skills to be valuable outside of their niche. Plus, most people who get great at one thing get over confident and don't recognize the limits to their knowledge/skills which just compounds the problem.
