MDs are NOT scientists by any criteria you could reasonably formulate. The actual and unique use of research for 99.99% of MDs is academic advancement, which in the medical field also goes with lots of money (patents, scientific board membership, etc.). Hence the rise of "piggyback research", i.e. putting your name everywhere you possibly can or if you really want to put some effort in it, doing meta analyses on topics you don't know anything of in practice.
Medical "research" is a shame to our society.
- angry_octet 8y agoThe only information your post conveys is that you know nothing about medical research, but you have strongly held conspiracy views about it.
- rscho 8y agoAnd you are being very much presumptuous. Clearly, you also have very partial views on the topic.
