My PCP is well connected in his health system. That has played to my advantage in the past.

Probably also not addressed in medical school:

Political ideology's effects on doctors and physicians.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/06/coronavirus-pandemic-conservatives-ivermectin/

Excerpt 1: “[C]onservative physicians were approximately five times more likely than their liberal and moderate colleagues to say that they would treat a hypothetical COVID-19 patient with hydroxychloroquine,” the researchers write. “ … This difference was driven in large part by agreement between liberal and moderate physicians, with conservative physicians displaying polarization that was often comparable to that of conservative laypeople.”
...
Excerpt 2: “[P]olitical ideology colors the evaluation of scientific evidence to a greater degree when it pertains to a politicized treatment,” the report reads. “After reading otherwise identical results, partisans’ responses were more polarized when the drug was identified as ivermectin relative to when it was anonymized, with participants who were more conservative reporting that the evidence was less informative, the study was less methodologically rigorous, and the authors were more likely to be biased.” The results, they add, “were not detectably different across lay and physician samples.”

In other words, partisans were more likely to dismiss research undercutting the efficacy of ivermectin when they knew the research was about ivermectin.

To be honest, I'm not sure I want to watch rap performed by a bunch of humanities students, either

I didn't say humanities students, I said studying the humanities. You learn tricky distinctions like that by studying the humanities.

If I wanted to be an asshole I'd post a load of music played by people without humanities degrees and challenge you to find people who studied humanites who could do it better.

But really, I was just kidding around. I fully agree the humanities are important, and undervalued.

You're still not getting it. Try to follow along.

Being in a band, starting with covers, listening to a shitload and then writing your own stuff is "studying the humanities." So is looking at yourself, seeing that you have the rhythm of a vacuum cleaner and deciding not to rap things.

Sitting in a desk in a lecture hall is getting a degree. The two aren't the same. Sometimes they overlap; these days, mostly they don't.

Impressive bobbing and weaving there, but when people talk about Miles Davis or Beethoven they don’t typically say ‘Oh, he studied the humanities so well….’

Just the same that's what he did. That's what they fucking are.

OK, but I’m not sure that’s totally clear from your original comment. The fact that I apparently misunderstand what you meant might not actually be my fault here?

How do you know whether the "Harvard MDs" have studied more or less humanities than other groups?

I've worked with doctors. Many, many doctors.

I've seen plays written by doctors, heard music composed by doctors. And this is sadly far from the first rap I've heard from doctors.

It's incredible how categorically terrible most of them are at expressing themselves. But not all of them.

How many plays, songs and raps from doctors have you been exposed to?

None of what you wrote above speaks to 'How do you know whether the "Harvard MDs" have studied more or less humanities than other groups,' does it?

What are you trying to express?

So much for 'First, do no harm'.
