You know what they call the person who graduates last in their class in Med School?

"Doctor"

Yeah, and then "Doctor" gets shipped off to Guatemala because the only hospital in the United States that'll take him for residency is Hollywood Upstairs Medical.

Wait...what does "competent" mean? If it actually means "competent", then I should hope that anyone of "competent" intelligence should be able to graduate, since that's kind of the meaning of the word.

Yeah. Competent does not mean above average it simply means competent. I have no idea why chaz decided it means stupid since no one has said anything about stupid in the entire conversation.[/QUOTE]


And I'm saying that, yes, you do need to be above average to get through med and get anywhere in science.

I guess I'm not quite understanding what defines "brilliant". No faculty at an R1 school, or even an R2 school is anything less than very bright. If they are, they get booted in their tenure track pretty quickly (about to happen to one of us here). You just can't float a turd. If brilliant means making breakout discoveries, again, I think many faculty members do. A media darling like Einstein or Edison or Watson and Crick is difficult to find these days, but that doesn't mean that there are less people making breakthroughs. They're just less interesting to the the public. An equivalent to relativity just doesn't sell newspapers anymore. There are people I know who have advanced basic physics significantly, but their advancements aren't tied to a war-ending bomb. You might even say that the problem is that the "rough" has become rather sparkly, making the diamonds harder to pick out.

I used to believe I was fairly bright, but the world has surely proven me wrong many times over.
