You cannot become a professional engineer without taking a state certified exam. Having said that, the guy who designed your brakes probably wasn't a state licensed professional engineer and the truth of the matter is that billions of times a day people step on their car's brake pedal and the car stops. I've met _a lot_ of engineers and not nearly as many doctors. Even at that, the quack doctor to bad engineer ratio is a big number is stacked pretty heavily against the medical profession.
Last freakin' night my wife was at an emergency room with my 80+ year-old mother-in-law. She had shooting pains in her hip and couldn't walk. They tried to release her before my wife stepped in and put her foot down about taking X-rays. Oh ya, I guess she actually has a broken hip. 'We missed that'. She's in surgery as I write this. What's my wife's background? English degree.
My mother has high blood pressure and had a stroke. The quack doctor takes her off of a heavy duty blood pressure medicine and tells her to take a baby aspirin every day about a year later. It takes 2 weeks before she has another massive stroke.
My father has a bad back and a third quack doctor was writing him prescriptions for Oxycotin to the tune of about 120 pills every 2 weeks. I had to call that pr!ok and tell him that if he wrote another perscription he might as well call his lawyer because he was going to have a law-suit on his hands.
That's a sample of your profession, Doc, so how about we leave the 'high and mighty' sh!7 at home.
