Let me say, to that point. I have "consulted" many manufacturers over the years. Most of the improvements in the medical field have been engineering/manufacturing in nature. Biological improvements have been few and far between. Probably very little (not going to research) after 1960.For certain in their particular medical field they all probably more than you do. Lets see how they do on a metal lathe or using all the machinery you know how to run.
You being a machinist can respect that in your expertise there are guys who are brilliant bad asses and ones that you would never let run certain machines or assign to certain projects. Even though they all in theory are machinist. Same with doctors you line 10 heart surgeons up and you have the worst at #1 the best at # 10...I sure as hell don't want any of them but #10 cutting into me ...Problem is it takes doing a lot of due diligence to figure out who #10 is.
Kind of like picking a stock but way more serious. Just walking into your local hospital and accepting what ever doctor they or your insurance allows you to see is similar to walking into the local mini mart and asking for a lotto ticket and thinking they are all winners. Not so much. When choosing what doctor you listen to, take advice or let hack and sew on you be sure you're seeing one that is really smart and proficient in their abilities... don't and it's totally luck of the draw.
Modern medicine is an engineering marvel more than a biological marvel. (IMO)
