Chemist vs. physician?

You saved me some typing. All I kept thinking!

But it seemed a little odd to me that a chemist would know so much about the physical effects of the agent. Felt they should have had both women contributing info.

Thanks. My (adored) doc of many years, a family practitioner, always says "this isn't my specialty" when it isn't, but he knows at least a little about a lot - and I've asked him some pretty out-there questions over the years. He's referred me to specialists quite a few times per what (unfortunately) turned out to be quite accurate "hunches," as he'd probably call them.

I'm almost certain that they do learn this stuff in medical school - he teaches there, so maybe he's just more "refreshed" - just as those with bachelor's degrees are "forced" to take courses like philosophy, math, foreign language, art history, economics, literature, you name it, despite their major. And boy did I hear complaints about this at least weekly from those of my business students who should have opted for a career college, given their attitudes and GPAs; some kids never "got" the idea of what this degree represents.

Hm, wonder if med students complain "I'm gonna be a surgeon, I don't need to know about radiation!"

I kept thinking that too. Honestly, I kept thinking that she wasn't a very good, or at least not a very dedicated, doctor. "aren't you a first responder? shouldn't you go?" "I'm not on call today".

WHAT THE FVCK IS A BIEBER????

I'm going to have to go with Chemist on this one. We work with all kinds of toxic sh*t and we need to know what all the possible dangers are before we start working with them.

Physchians are humans too. They aren't freaking robots. A chemist who works with chemicals like it would be a better expert with this. Especially because it would probably be something that interests them more.
