Antti posted:IANAD but it seems to me that medical education has a laser focus on its discipline and the med student doesn't have to pay any attention to anything outside of it to still excel in their studies and profession. This exactly. Doctors are weird folk who live a pretty cloistered life while in Med school. They know their poo poo when it comes to their field but become lost on issued outside their specific specialty. I've heard no end of praise for guys like Dr Oz or Ben Carson from former patients and colleagues, but I don't have to tell anyone here about what dumb poo poo they spew.

hobbesmaster posted:But it doesn't stop in medical school. They have 4 years of medical school which takes up an inordinate amount of time, then they have years of residency where they spend literally every waking hour in their hospital. If they become a specialist their fellowship isn't going to be much better. Then, if they finally become an attending after 12 years and are a specialist like a surgeon they spend much of their time on call sitting in the hospital anyways, though now the room they're waiting in is much snazzier and they're getting paid a ton to do it. Right. I should have said this. I seem to have confused my explanation of "why doctors are weird" with "why fist year residents are bad doctors"

The major difference between then and now is theirs a lot more MDs being pumped out of med school and not a lot more residencies to be filled. Even less glamorous residencies are being swallows up by the upper tier med schools. That and increasing schooling cost without increased pay is making an already exclusive field more so.

I think 83 was when he started telling people about the concentration camp he liberated. It turns out he made a film about liberating a camp and mistook it for a genuine moment.

UrbanLabyrinth posted:So how's Season 2 of Alpha House? (TV IV doesn't have a thread, so I assume this is the closest currently) Just finished the first episode (whole seasons up), so far it's great. The show really feels like it hit its stride.

I was under the impression that even with CGI the military will lend an adviser to "make sure it's accurate". Hence why video games fall into the same trap despite not needing props.

Raskolnikov38 posted:Is it really a trap if they don't actually disagree with what the military wants in the script rewrites? And if they did how would we know? The entertainment industry is basically a propaganda arm for the military. Not that this is anything new, and it doesn't hurt studios bottom lines. My point was that any work critical of the military is unlikely to be made, and the military itself does what it can to make sure of that.
