I’m married to a PA who’s spent a decade in the OR, assisting some truly talented surgeons. Her biggest frustration? Many assume that being top of their field in medicine automatically makes them experts in everything else. She’s fact-checked them mid-surgery more than once on outdated or unsupported claims they toss around as gospel. Like literally ivermectin as COVID treatment, and yes even bleach injections (just because your immune system uses hypochlorous acid doesn’t mean injecting diluted bleach does anything but harm- yes, I’m serious this was actual OR discussion as viable and factual)
I’ve got an amazing auto mechanic—brilliant with VW Group cars. But I wouldn’t take his stock picks or medical advice. Expertise doesn’t transfer by ego.
It’s like training dice to roll only threes: after four “failures,” the dice finally land double threes and you declare victory—then start selling your revolutionary dice-training method. That’s quackery in a nutshell.
