The majority of MDs are reading charts or diagnosing the flu or allergies or stitching up a wound, why should they understand biochemistry?

- taeric 5y agoThis begs the question that they do. Probably safe to assume that most don't. Just like it is safe to assume that most programmers aren't good at calculus. Or discrete math. Or proofs.
- pishpash 5y agoThere is a move to get basic care into the hands of nurse practitioners and probably similarly most programmers shouldn't bother studying anything. If there is enough consumer demand to fill experience-based jobs then that's the market reality but it doesn't mean doctors who are meant to invent new cures don't need biochemistry or engineers who are meant to design new solutions don't need mathematics. Most programmers will never design new solutions and are objectively terrible at their job.
- kortilla 5y ago> Most programmers will never design new solutions and are objectively terrible at their job. I don’t think you know anything about professional programming if you think that makes them “objectively terrible at their job”. Sometimes businesses just need a website.
- juve1996 5y agoExactly, why should they? Seems like a meaningless bar created for no practical reason, just like 90% of the other stuff everyone learns in school.
