How do you engineers deal with arrogant doctors (medical)not (phd)???

Question

i'm studying engineering

and i feel that doctors have big heads and think they better than anyone..because the dealing with living body while engineers dealing with metal and materials that is not alive

so!!

Answer 1

Arrogance comes in any profession, at any age, the defining moment is when the world points out that they have not achieved perfection, i.e. the patient dies, the bridge falls, the suspect was innocent and spent 15 years in prison.

Self doubt, awareness, anxiety, confidence, or envy seem to diminish with age and experience. (barring mental health)

As a new engineer, you will be required to deal with all passages of human experience through your career.

I would suggest that you lay back, access, and, if needed, recover and get on with the real problems.

There is a number of things during the day that will push you off course, this does not hurt the source, just you.

focus on the prize, a well designed, well built success, is your legacy.

The rest is just life, unavoidable, undesirable, and mostly inconvenient.

good luck.

Answer 2

I had an interesting experience with an internist.  They waited 2 hours to see me, then when making small talk in the examining room, they found out I knew about computers and networking and such (this was the early 1990's, so it was a big deal).  They asked if I could look at their network and see if I could fix it.  I told them, yeah, in a couple of hours.

Answer 3

Very simple:

Fire him and hire some other son of a bitsh.  

Answer 4

Get another doctor.  

You are generalizing.  Not all medical doctors have poor patient relationships.

Answer 5

Some people are so sick that doctors cannot help them, and others recover by themselves without intervention by a doctor. So if doctors suddenly disappeared, civilization as we know it would continue, just with a higher death rate.

However if engineers suddenly vanished, civilization as we know it would also vanish. No buildings, no transportation, no cities, no large scale efficient agriculture, nothing.

So you tell me which is most important!

Answer 6

Mostly on a professional/client basis.

If he's your client, you fully explain the options and then

give him what he wants.

He should do the same for you.

Answer 7

Physicians do not have big heads nor do they think they are "better than anyone."

I'm surprised, given the rigors of a course of study in engineering, that you have time to worry about such inane matters.

If you have an issue with your chosen discipline, change to something you respect.

I can assure you that no physician is spending anytime worrying about the field of engineering or anyone in it.
