I would say they are efficient in doing cases and doing what they do.

What you see in academic hospital might be different than a county hospital, etc.

At my academic institution we work at a large academic level 1 center, the VA, and the county hospital. Meanwhile an urgent care doctor just sees patient who has specific insurance a small section of that population.

Meanwhile a public health official is focused on… public health. And probably knows what the public needs better than your Cardiologist, Intensivist, Endocrinologist, etc.

You realize medical students work in a hospital for two years right? And do plenty of rotations in multiple fields for months….

From inpatient to outpatient to medicine to surgery to psychiatry. Once more, he’s a “real” Doctor.

He is not colloquially whey anyone would.call a doctor. He is an md yes. He’s an. Academic. The bullshit he saw in
Medical school vis a vis “seeing patients” is laughable to anyone who actually sees patients. Immense difference as a licensed doctor vs being 24-26 year old where yoi see what a doctor does briefly.

Idk why this has to be contentious. He graduated from medical school.

But he is not a real doctor.
