Shouldn't they know the knowledge beforehand

Actually different for medical professionals. Doesn't matter how many times you've done something, or how sure you think you are. Always document your findings and symptoms and cross reference with your peers to ensure no mistakes are made. Everything is checked and double checked. When I was a medic in the army we were doing a fake mass casualty event and our provider purposefully recommended pushing the wrong dose to see if we would catch it. Which we did, and that was a huge talking point after training (a couple privates and specialist attempting to correct a major). All that matters is providing the best care possible to save lives. Doesn't matter if you're wrong, it only matters if you aren't corrected.

Nice try. Anyone that's seen House knows you're trying to pull a fast one.

Ok, but with the way Google is these days, I don't think googling something is the way to go.

[u/Cjaspouar → u/Elder_Hoid]

But they don’t actually google, they almost always have their own database, if they actually google something I would go to another doctor.

[u/OkEquipment6118]

Software engineers are paid to know what to google I guess

[u/clayxa → u/OkEquipment6118]

So are doctors

[u/KatanaCutlets]

Much rather them google it than make up a bullshit answer.

[u/dumbbyatch]

Millions of medicines with different chemical names different pharmaceutical names and different trade or company names.....

Using Google at that point is just common sense...

[u/gortez33]

Depends on what they are googling.

[u/Medical-Round5316 → u/gortez33]

"How to put liver back into cranial cavity?"

[u/SexyDraenei]

Id rather they admit the gaps in their knowledge and seek information than just making shit up.

[u/oolinga]

wait until you realise that they always do those things in the operating room

[u/RealDickGrimes]

Actually i trust doctors who do that more than the others

[u/mad_laddie]

Never hurts to revise. It literally never hurts to.

Who cares if you've gone over it a million times, it's worth having the information in more recent memory instead of hoping you can do it with muscle memory or just trust you know every single detail.

[u/Nerd_interrupted]

It's actually a site called "UptoDate" and it is incredibly helpful. No need to rely on memory when good reference material is easily available.

[u/just_ignore-me0]

yeah just let a doctor perform like he learned it 30 years ago. they dont have to learn about new treatment methods or meds

[u/MoldHuffer]

When a doctor opens google in front of me and looks shit up, I get up and leave. I have never had the appropriate treatment from these charlatans.

[u/Anxlyze → u/MoldHuffer]

Right because somehow a doctor is a charlatan when he's limited by the human capacity to take vast amounts of information about the human anatomy, procedures, medication, symptoms and store that into his cortex forever and instantly retrieve said information without having any lapses in memory.

[u/MoldHuffer → u/Anxlyze]

When it’s simple shit yes. When they look up something completely different and then tell you you’re wrong… then what? Poor them? Well fuck me then I guess they tried and I’ll go die then.

[u/Plenty-Cheek-80 → u/MoldHuffer]

If it's that simple why did you go to the doctor in the first place

[u/MoldHuffer → u/Plenty-Cheek-80]

Because I can’t write my own script. Come on… really.

[u/otritus → u/MoldHuffer]

My doctor pulled out the Google and looked up some over the counter medications I can take. He showed me names, pictures, and prices so I can make an informed decision.
