    Credentialism. Some doctors treat their staff the same way. If an argument, no matter how logical, comes from someone that doesn’t have an MD, PhD, or other doctor initials behind their name, it gets automatically dismissed. For some, it’s even on non-medical stuff. This happens with non-medical academics, too.

      Your tires need to be rotated, the tread is wearing unevenly. I know this cause I’ve turned a wrench or two.

      Oh…you’re a doctor and don’t see a problem? Ok, pass the potatoes and if you die in a car crash…they’ll refer to you as Dr 👍

      Fuck you, sir. Your PolySci degree doesn’t count for shit when we are talking about non-ionizing radiation. No the High Fox isnt going to “fry” you and make you sterile, the standoff is 14 feet, stop waving me back.
