Don't know that much about prescribing folks the correct drug and dealing with the side effect symptoms. As someone who has suffered a strong side effect and an adverse reaction, I am just happy the ER physicians figured it out and I was able to have some relief...
As far as your observation, doctor--I agree. LOL. But, I have seen it work and when it does, much is accomplished... It should not be that animosity. I never walked into a basic science lab thinking the physician was clueless, in fact, they were my best pupils when I've had to teach them a technique. Whereas, other Ph.D.--yeah, they are some asshats that are clueless about the benefits of the greater society. I am sorry you are encountering that...
I usually get the physicians wondering why I did not go to med school. I tell them my dad was a dentist, and then ask them, what do you do when you find out a patient is allergic to penicillin, and you ASKED her what her allergies were, so this patient sues you for malpractice (a day out your life) and on the claim, it says "allergic to ALL the 'cillins' "
Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Penicillin--ALL of them!!!
I had a whole row of residents fallin' out over that one...
