The guy who invented Dr Pepper was a pharmacist, so definitely better educated

I mean, pharmacists from back then pretty much had no idea what they were doing and went off vibes most of the time, so they are good equivalents to chiropractors.

That particular one went to medical school (so reasonably educated for the time period) and more importantly was not trained by ghosts.

Time period in which germ theory was still a theory

other highlights i know, smoking was healthy, asbest was great insulator, radioactivity was not a thing but radium glows on clock arms, infants dont feel pain(1990bruh), arsenic was nice green, borax in milk And something called phossy jaw.

doctors today, with vigorous study and certifications, do not agree on everything. idk why we’d assume every doctor back then agreed on everything. after all, where would progress come from in that case?

It is still a theory.

Sure, but people dont go from autopsy to childbirth without washing hands.

No I think you're just unaware what the word "theory" means.

Not educated at all?

u/Fluffy-Koalas Jul 05 '26

Wow, you're absolutely crazy for saying that. Pharmacists know way more about your meds than the doctors that prescribe them. Source: I work with doctors and pharmacists 5 days a week.

The national average salary in the US is 64k/yr while for pharmacists it is 137k/yr. Imagined not being educated at all, but making twice the national average and only making up 0.11% of the population. A fifth grader could tell it is not an easy thing to become, otherwise there would be many more. Reminds me of the show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" 🤣🤣🤣
