It is mind boggling how stoooopid many doctors actually are outside of their practice. Some of the most stoooopid people in the world politically.
I have no scruples asking any doctor who MIGHT treat me what their political viewpoints are.. I Am not impressed by them.. And I Am not bashful.. I am polite but I do not believe they are superior to myself or anyone else. They studied medicine and I studied engineering. We both have advanced degrees. I have degrees in other fields of study as well. SO, I do not feel inferior to them..
As Ronald Reagan famously asked a surgeon doctor, "are you a republican" before his surgery after being shot.
Oh well. I have had some excellent docs who saved my life who were very polite and humble. They were just normal people without a haughtiness or condescending attitude. I know De has had some exceptional physicians/surgeons/cardiologists as well.
