Be critical


I had a discussion with some close friends the other day about what kind of chiro, doctor, lecturer, classmate or professor we did NOT want to have.

The person who is always right and always have an answer to every question even if he doesn’t know the answer.
A person who just talks,,, WITHOUT being critical to his sources or his way of understanding them.

Say you ask him if the foetus is sharing blood with the mother. He starts rambling on the subject even thou he does not know and when you tell him that you’ve just read up on the subject and you to tell him your opinion he just wont consider it.

I think it’s very unprofessional to not be able to say that you don’t know or that you cant be a 100% sure about this and that you have to look it up.

Many sources are unreliable, 50% of what we learn at uni. will be gone in a couple of years they keep telling us.

Realise that no source is a 100% and that is why you can’t hold on to your point of view with a 100% certainty.
It is possible that you might have misunderstood them.

Please be critical to everything and chill out.

And yes its okay to be wrong but in a school situation it's not that important to be right, rather say what you know and be open for a discussion.
