FUCKING RAGE

just had a prick phone in at work regarding an appliance (dryer) broken door which he has in his holiday house, and hes trying to argue that it couldnt have been the fault of the user because the guy is a doctor, i mean fuck off, so just because your a doctor you can do no wrong??

Fuck this i'm off to medical school to become a doctor just so i can go and start breaking shit and killing people and get away with it because "i'm a doctor" fucking society.

Doctors are the biggest fucking scam artists out there, they don't do shit for you because they care they do shit for you because that's what pharmaceutical companies tell them to do it.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!

General Practitioners can be a bit wayward.

I know my GP is always prescribing me antibiotics. I haven't taken any in years. I just go to make sure I don't have butt-cancer.

Also, nearly $600 for a consultation with a cardiologist. A 30 minute fucking consultation. Did not go and I

it's not the fact of who broke it or whether it was a product issue that had me raging, its the way he said that it couldnt have been done by the person renting it because he was a doctor

oh and haha

Agreed. Some GP's can be a bit like that. My old GP was like;

Me: "Hi doctor, I've cut my arm off and it hurts"

*Prescribes me pain killers.



My new one is much better, alot easier to talk to and he seams actually intrested in helping me.

Hospital IT - Doctors can, and will, break lots of simple things.

Alas, they can be good at medicine (well.. some of them) and we can be good at IT stuff (well.. some of us)..

yes but what pisses me off is the preconception that doctors aren't to be questioned if they say something is what it is every one just bows down and believes it

You should, we need more doctors.


Anyway, i'm sure doctors save a lot more people then they kill, so that makes them ok.

Even applies within IT.. In my early days in IT when I was but a humble technician I distinctly remember a customer trying to argue he couldn't have broken a piece of hardware through misuse  "Because he was an MCSE".. *twitch*

Yeah fuck that.

If he'd said "But I'm an Engineer" I would have understood, although if he was an engineer then you probably wouldn't have had the conversation.

Doctors are very much hit and miss worldwide.  NZ is no exception, some are great most are average, some are stupid.  Once you have gained the punitive entrance to medical school it is difficult to fail.  Two members of my immediate family are doctors, I would not trust them to apply a bandaid.  As an example of randomness:

I got bitten by a viper while pointing at it, going fuck man, that's a viper! (smart)  After a quick coffee arm was turning pretty black so we went to hospital. (also smart)  The doctors there swarmed around me and told me that a snake bite needed to go through general admissions and was not an emergency...A few of the student doctors (university hospital) appeared to panic when they saw me.  I got in a taxi, went to another hospital and lucked out a doctor there was also a herpetologist.  He gleefully treated my bite after a near instant correct diagnosis, took photos as the snake was extremely rare, and called his students in to have a look.  The guy was amazing.  He even lent me some of his scissors so I could cut dead flesh off the area as it necrotised.

People are not infallible, and they cannot remember everything (usually).  I see a lot of doctors consulting thick texts during diagnosis, but the tendency seems to be a quick, lazy, and often incorrect decision.

I heard an advert for a new "private learning institute" on the radio the other day.

Not sure what I'm doing wasting 5 years at university when this place can make me a computer systems engineer in only 1?

Someone get virt, sounds right up his ally.
