Quote:Being a surgeon does not automatically make you a scientist. That's like saying being a car mechanic makes you an authority on aerospace engineering. 

I think a surgeon is a lot closer to a scientist than a car mechanic is to an aerospace engineer.


The amount of science courses and practical physiology exercises they go through I certainly consider them superior to most scientists.  


I mean anyone can put on a lab coat and do some scientific study the fact that a surgeon is proving scientific theories on a daily basis is pretty amazing.  Its not like they just learn how to do surgery there is a mess of pre requisites (many high level chemistry/biology courses)just to get the degree to get the opportunity to do a long residency.  


now are they a climate scientist, no but I think they can interpret data
