Doctors not knowing the blindingly obvious, huh?

Must be a worldwide thing :D

Is it just me, or is there an unwritten rule?

The more educated you are (or the more specialized your knowledge), the more you lack common sense.

Perhaps they would be better selecting the clever people for training rather than just those with the money to pay for it?
