And yes I would like my doctor to go to a computer with appropriate software on it when he/she runs into a problem that has an extensive database that allows him or her to consult with the maximum number of case work rather than just the relatively small number he may have on file. |
I would like my doctor to know enough to know what he or she is looking at and to solve the problem when the power is out, to be able to use the world's interactive databases to search out new information and to recognize when it is not really new, controversial, bogus or just plain wrong.
You can keep the untrained, ignorant masses that only know what's on the computer. You can have them for a doctor if you want - fools who are easily fooled. Why learn the meanings of words, you can just use a dictionary? Why learn how to read, you can get a talking computer reader, or have your mommy read to you?
For my doctor, I prefer to have the guy who wrote or could write the medical date base, knows what's in it, what's best, how to use it, and knows when he needs to consult with other experts and data bases. |
And you're the one who advocates abandoning public education... |
