yawn, I’ve taught physics for premeds. for the most part, doctors are smart in that they can learn from experience.

theoretical physics is beyond them and actually theoretical anything is beyond them.

And what makes you think doctors can’t be scientists? Many of us were scientists before we were docs.

I have taught physics for premeds as well, before going to medical school. I am not sure what you are saying. There are just as many idiot MDs and Ph.Ds as there are non doctor idiots.

Physics was possibly my toughest course in College. Differential Equations and Finite Element Analysis seemed a snap in comparison.

But, I’d bet you wouldn’t want to be treated by someone
trying a “theoretical” cure on you or anyone you
love.

Also you shouldn’t use the term “theoretical” since
the root word is “theos”(i.e. God)... in science
you should never use anything that smacks of belief in God.
Right? Maybe the term should be anthroretical, or perhaps
cerebroretical, or phrenoretical, or rna-oretical, or
string-oretical.

I would think a neurosurgeon should know a thing or two about biology.
