Fly on the wall

Overheard between two medical students:

Student #1: Yeah, I think I wanna do surgery or maybe anesthesia.
Student #2: Oh yeah? Why?
Student #1: I don't wanna do medicine because I don't wanna have to know that much stuff.

Sigh. I reached deep inside and found the composure not to make a scene. But really? Really? Maybe we should be like England where they call internists "Doctor" and surgeons "Mister." Because as this student has so astutely observed, too many of them just aren't real doctors. And I'll leave it at that.

PS Student #1 proceded to brag about being an Aggie. Coincidence? Perhaps. Or perhaps not.
