Someone has got to stop this stupid conversation. I know a PhD who has done research for 25 years for a top cancer research institute and hospital. He leads teams of dozens of other PhDs and researchers into new compounds and tests for cancer treatments (and now is involved in funding and Government approvals). I don’t believe he’s a medical doctor, and I am sure he doesn’t have a “state license.” I dare some idiot to tell him or his employer he’s not qualified to talk about cancer, or medical-system practices. Sheesh.
The preponderance of MD/PhDs in the medical research world is overwhelming and none of them do much in the way of practice. I knew one guy who would do a rotation at MassGen every year just to stay in touch but that’s about it.
PS
That doesn’t excuse her gross malfeasance in misinterpreting crap data due to her utter lack of facility in modeling and statistics which is a field that she probably doesn’t know what she doesn’t know.
Us applied math people don’t try to do medicine and she shouldn’t try to do math, especially not in front of the world.
But I think Debbie just found that out.
I see your “sheesh”, and raise you one, my FRiend.
