I work with doctors who are probably the most well educated people in the world, and I have lost esteem of their intellect for several of them for an assortment of reasons, largely COVID related:

1. Asked me how to spell tax, born English speaking.
2. A neurosurgeon who cuts into people's brains routinely barely got the required vaccinations for COVID to stay employed, and assured me children don't need COVID vaccines because they are immune, tried to work mask free long before mandates were lifted, and grabbed my hand and shook it during a lockdown point where we were all decidedly not touching each other.
3. Assured me I didn't need any more COVID vaccines beyond the two. I have had nine.
4. Assured me I didn't need to wear an N95 during Delta.
5. Spelled God Gaud.
6. Wildly incorrect diagnosis where he should have known better.
7. They mostly don't respect trans people, most doctors don't.
8. Said his patients are all nuts.
9. Cheap as dirt and highly ungrateful for the people that work for them.
10. Has a violent case of BPD and was so abusive she was dismissed.
11. Tried to murder his ex.
12. Beat his ex.
13. Did murder his ex.
14. Borrowed money from patients twice, sexually abused his patients twice, lost license thankfully.
15. Would be kicking the wall in the OR if she got angry instead of tending to her patient under anesthesia.

Also nurses. Why are so many nurses so shitty? Even beyond the antivax ones, I know nurses who would steal insulin to euthanize animals at home (which is NOT humane), nurses who said about a suicide victim "Well she got what she wanted", nurses who showed me pictures in the act of threesomes, nurses who stole anesthesia meds for sleeping, nurses who ended up in relationships with patients, and nurse managers who I'm quite convinced were sociopaths, who told one of the clerks that she was a body at a desk and easily replaced.

I realize we're all human but fuck it's awful how many of them are perfect idiots.
