Medical Doctors considered Scientists?
I often see a split answer on this, but should they be? Don't get me wrong, being a doctor have got to be one of the hardest and most important professions there is. However, science within terms of professional research revolves around falsifying hypotheses through experiments which leads to innovation. Rather, M.D.'s must follow set protocols and diagnose patients base previous research that has been shown to work through experiments in the lab. After adjectives, being "creative" and testing something out when a patient is dying is not the best judgment? Here is a link discussing this.

Most of us who work in the community are not scientists. But our training is such that we should be able to discriminate between science and popular belief. Some of us may opt to contribute in clinical trials but the required informed consent and data collection are very time consuming. And the research protocol itself is designed by someone else, someone who could be term a scientist.
The same applies to many medical TV commentators. They excel at communicating the essence of recent medical discoveries, and most of them mention the caveats, too. A few MD commentators in the popular medium border on the edge of science and hearsay. This is pseudo-science.
But when they interview a guy like Dr. Anthony Fauci, perk up your ears and turn on the TiVo. He's the genuine article.
The British Medical Journal article be well stated. The community physician relies heavily on the expertise of the editorial committee to assure that the conclusions of a research article are valid.
