Run off the mill physician doctor...
A: just what is run off the mill physician doctor? That statement confuses me.

Just wondering, who actually thinks a run off the mill physician doctor is better positioned to scrutinise research than someone with a (for example) PhD in a biological sciences field?
A: better positioned... I'd say it's variable. Many doctors have completed research before, during and/or after the degree.

having a phd in a scientitic field makes them more qualified to comment than your run of the mill GP.
A: that's a bit harsh. GPs have essentially become specialists these days. They have a college, an accredited traning program and must demonstrate CPD annually. I wouldnt criticise a GP until you have walked a few miles in their shoes.

Many medical doctors don't have a clue about the real nitty gritty of research, and nor should they because it's not really their job and they don't have the time to be scrutinising research.
A: that's rubbish. It is part of their job. Even doctors that haven't been directly involved in research have to be involved in Journal clubs on a regular basis, at least monthly, and scrutinise the quality of an article with other specialists. No time for scrutinising research... most doctors have a clinical:non clinical workload of 80:20, there is time for scrutinising research.

Physicians are generalists in patient care for the most part, and even specialist doctors aren't scrutinising research methodology,
A: confused again... Physicians are specialists, not generalists. And I refer you to my previous comment above.

Attack the arguement, not the person.
A: ok. Overall, IMO, it seems your understanding of what doctors do, including their qualification to critique research is lacking. Nothing personal, but seriously disagreeing with just about everything you said.

Peace dude.
Cheers, wizza.
FWIW, I’m a specialist physician in a large city hospital. I have a university appointment. I’ve contributed to international research in my field. I know research. I know publications. As for the criticism of general practice +/- doctors not being qualified to comment, that just shows a profound misunderstanding of medical training/research/CME.

I liked the Dr Nick Riviera post until it attacked mental illness. Average work by the poster.

Now that's a "slam-dunk"!

Thank you for a most-sporty series of posts. Now can we get away from the slanging match and on with the show.

Thank you (everyone).
