Someone that's not a doctor isn't going to kill someone through his incompetency as a doctor. Unless, of course, he's an imposter.Look, the worst shooter in one of the Olympics shooting events (I guess they have one of some kind), would be 1000 times better than me. I can't speak for any individual doctor but pretty much the worst student in any professional school class probably is sharper than me (and maybe you too). For doctors, it is not always the smartest that is the best. I had a physician friend who had a brain tumor when young. He was very smart but uncoordinated and couldn't do anything surgical. Made a good family doc. Good surgeons require good hand eye coordination, not necessarily high intelligence.
