I mean… Medicine is super hard. You have to remember, when it comes to biology, we’re still figuring it how everything works and there’s way less that we actually understand than what we don’t understand.
I try to think of it like this, doctors aren’t like engineers, because engineers actually have all the specs for the materials or systems they’re working with. They can run the numbers and tell you what will happen when the system is altered in x way. Doctors are more like hackers, they have to reverse engineer a complex system that they never got a spec sheet or user manual for. They can’t read much of the internal diagnostics and the hardware itself wasn’t built with any sensible order or design philosophy. Frankly, it’s a terrible system to have to support and maintain and they don’t really have the tools or information to do it.
All that said, doctors do an impressive job. And seriously though, this hardware suuuucks…
