    I think medicine has a goal of health of a patient. That is generally clearly defined. Of course there is ambiguity over proper treatment, but generally for majority of medicine there is clear goals.

      I think politician has a goal of health of a nation. FTFY.

      Your argument is stupid. Stop making yourself look the same.

        Why does health of a nation matter? I don’t agree. And what does health of a nation mean?

        I’d prefer a politician who let’s a nation collapse but greatly improves the quality of life of many. (Like what Gorbachev could’ve been.)

          Lol. I’m sure you would agree that improving the quality of life of many is improving the health of a nation. QED.

              Medicine has a clear goal- politics do not. That is one of many reasons that good governance should not be looked for only in academia.

              To get back to the point of this discussion, your contention is literally the dumbest point I’ve heard in a long time. Politicians are professionals just like doctors. Education is important.
