After learning medicine for most of my life, I dread going home to read medical journals to stay up to date, and it seems like my brain retains 0.1% of the content I read, on a good day.

I fumbled around the medicine cabinet for anything that would clear my sinuses; to my relief I found one Claritin-D pill.

Both do not know what they are doing - a doctor "practices medicine", while the realtor tries to "practice" in the field of real estate.

If I had a landlord that was pestering me and not leaving me alone, I might just call the cops to give them a taste of their own medicine and show them how it feels when they are starting to be too intrusive.

Been a while since I said anything on this thread.1) The ethics issue - It's like the old moral problem from college philosophy and psychology classes ( can't remember the name) would you steal medicine to give to a sick child.

Just think about all the time you don't have a headache but the one time you do you want a pain reliever and medicine cabinet is empty.

Can you imagine if someone who was not qualified to teach medicine and surgery sold how to books with implications of making big bucks what would be the outcome?
