Ironically, I know quite a few physicians that choose NOT to see patients... LOL! Don't know how they don't see patients, though? I mean, doesn't Admissions ask ppl. if they want to see patients in the interview?
Doing hardcore research biotech is NOT easy. When I cloned my first plasmid "pre-kits", it took me nearly 2 months--and I had to MAKE competent DH5a cells--they were not sold at that time. When I cloned my second trangenic plasmid as a Post doc, it took me 1 month, with the sequencing to be injected into pluripotent blastocysts for chimeras.
These days you have Bayesian volcano plots from chips of relative transcriptomes...
