When professions are protected from competition by government, those participating in those professions get lazy.
When I was a software developer it blew my fucking mind to meet doctors who didn’t learn anything new about their profession. I was making forgot-your-password workflows and if I didn’t learn constantly, my career ended. They’re saving lives and can’t be arsed to read a paper now and then.
My impression is it seems most doctors are honestly way too busy to have time to read a paper, even if they have the best of intentions. The "can't be arsed" is more of an institutional problem. I work in tech and if I said I spent the entire day reading & trying to understand something new, nobody would bat an eye, but doctors don't have that luxury.
My workplace has doctors as clients. Some of them are really busy.
But some are just floating through space and time.
It's basically like school. On the one side of the room is the wizard of scheduling on the other is the complete imbecile who coasts off of co-students group work.
Congrats! I know it's early but this is definitely the silliest take I've read so far today.
Interesting point
