- xchip 5y agoResearch is done by researchers, and they hardly carry a phonendoscope. For the record: Duties of a doctor Monitoring and caring for patients in hospitals and clinics Investigating, diagnosing and treating the health conditions of patients Prescribing and reviewing patients’ medication Taking accurate notes, as a legal record and for other healthcare professionals to use Working with other doctors, healthcare professionals and management staff Educating people about their health Teaching and supervising trainee doctors. More senior doctors may also: Manage a team or department and organise workloads Research and review processes. source: https://www.bellerbys.com/guides/careers/hospital-doctor https://www.bellerbys.com/guides/careers/hospital-doctor

- minitoar 5y agoI don’t understand what you are criticizing. These dolls are modeled after real people, some of whom are scientists. Are you saying these people don’t deserve to be called scientists?
- rsynnott 5y agoWell, first, two of the people these are based on aren't doctors at all; they're biomedical researchers with no background as practicing doctors. However, the random careers website you cite may be giving you a slightly confused idea about actual doctors, too. Many doctors do research, and a lot of medical research gets done by practicing doctors. That website isn't intended as an exhaustive guide to everything that doctors do.
