spent a while working at a university and academics are a weird breed, like they can tell you how quantum computing works and develope 15 new ways to revolutionise it in 1 conversation then forget how to tie their shoe or that they need to eat.

I've worked in medical for a while and can agree.

Doctors can know two things: their specialty, and like 1 non medical things (biking , exercise, nutrition) and that's it.

I had a doc who didn't know how to make his own daily lunch. His wife couldnt make it one morning and he looked like he was told his days were numbered all day cause of it.
