[extropy-chat] Physicians and Spirituality

[Olga Bourlin]

"A survey examining religion in medicine found that most U.S. doctors 
believe in God and an afterlife - a surprising degree of spirituality in a 
science-based field, researchers say.":

Having known several physicians in my life has led me to the conclusion that 
many physicians (and nurses, too - from what my daughter, an R.N., has told 
me) are generally not deep thinkers, but more like technicians.  Please 
observe I said "many" - certainly not all.

I can't help it - I've tried to explain this to myself in many ways, but I 
still find this situation somewhat depressing.
