Okay this is ridiculous. After 5+ years of researching psychiatry, functional neuroanatomy and psychoneuroendocrinology, every time I visit a doctor I end up teaching them. And then they bill the government and make quite a lot of money (Canadian system). But I can't bill the government myself because a) I'm not a practising physician (yet), and b) you can't (officially) treat yourself. The only reason I see doctors is a) have them write a script for parnate and b) pick up some free condoms.
I'm pretty idealistic, so it's rather painful to know what a doctor has gone through (the curriculum of the local 'prestigious' med school) and how little information they have retained.
Anyone ever given a doctor a presentation on some of the above topics, and then presented their secretary with an invoice? ;)
