Exactly what I said. It was an RN at the VA hospital. Had me do an eye test for glaucoma or something, flipped her monitor around to me and asked me what I thought the results meant. I just said, "Aren't you the one who went to school?"

Ah, a RN. That's not a doctor. Still weird, but less weird.

Most of them don't know how to read tests, true.

To be fair, that’s still more competent than almost every doctor at the VA. I gather they dont work there because they were top of their class…

Gotta be honest with you, I don't know what they're like. I am a doctor, but not American.
