Yup. I too have trained many doctor's and it can often times be funny.
The worst part is when they can't admit they don't know something. They will talk in circles and B.S. their way out of any coversation and do so with a straight face because they are "a doctor".
One Doctor I have met here is a really honest guy. He comes in and works out a lot or gets treatment and he was telling me "You know, I think what you guys are doing with soft tissue work is really great. Doctor's don't know anything about this stuff. We really don't learn how to palpate muscles and feel tissue quality. If a doctor tells you they know about that stuff, 99% of the time they are full of sh^t."
#1 Doctors don't know as much as you think they do.
So true. I've gotten more and more docs as clients as the years have gone by. Physician heal thyself? Yeah, right.
