Oh god I don't have any medical training, but have access to unimaginable healthcare resources and literature and technology through my job.
The little bit that just trickles into my lap through work is enough for me to see just how wrong most of us non-medical professionals are, and how much some medical professionals still debate some things.
The part that blows my mind most of the time is how often there isn't a direct identified causation of illness.
Since the pandemic I have realised that doctors are just people as well and will make up bs as it suits them as well. Like those fake mask exemptions and what not…
At my last dermatologist appointment he asked me unsolicited „so how many times did you receive the poison injection?“ First I thought he was referring to chemo because we were talking about my cancer. But then he clarified he meant the Covid vaccine.
That's an appointment I would've walked out of and made sure the doc didn't get paid for.
Any of this info I can look up on? One of my friends studying science told me everything I knew about evolution is wrong and/or still being debated so I wonder what else I have wrong.
That's far too broad of a request. In general, Wikipedia is an excellent source for most topics.
"Studying science" is also very limited in telling me what he knows about evolution. I also would caution against thinking of your knowledge as being incorrect or debated - science expects errors in understanding, and when new research uncovers new information the existing theories change
