Thanks for your reply. I ultimately would like to create a product/service to serve a market; although, I can't say I don't have an itch to get into code. One reason as to why I posted this is because I wanted to hear from hackers whether a physician with nothing more than domain-knowledge would be able enough to provide significant contribution to a growing startup. I've lurked about for some time and have noticed a stigma against non-hackers looking to start up. But your post is reassuring and encouraging.

So short answer -> you will be able to provide significant contribution! I would recommend also trying to get your head around things that are possible in code rather than coding itself, so you are able to analyze scenarios. e.g., keep a table of patients and medications on the server, serve reminders on the doctors smartphone, call up best rated doctor, or whatever. Also, try to understand what is not possible, e.g., automatic algorithm to diagnose (too complicated).
