We are Doctors.
Aforetime, in Greece, Egypt and other old cultures, doctors were formed by the constant training from other doctors. That training allowed the conservation of natural medicine and sometimes, the improvement of some techniques. With the advent of Universities, medicine as a practice began to need an academic degree.
Today, medicine has progressed and specialization had been necessary to be a doctor. We can find dermatologists, cardiologists, ophthalmologist, and other specialists. In Mexico, a person needs to study for five years to be a general doctor but to have a specialty specialise they need to study for a further have a training for two or three years, as well. I'm sure that it’s a difficult profession.
For my formation and personal activities. In my personal/social life I have many friends that are doctors and it’s very common to listen hear them to say that their patients have made a tell to them their personal diagnostic self -diagnosis based on information that they have read in on the internet or watched seen on in the media. For them it’s very frustrating to try to convince their patients that a clinical diagnosis is more that only is far more comprehensive/accurate than a diagnosis based on information from only the internet or the media.
