Our medical health care here in the states leaves something to be desired, to be sure, but the worst field because it requires a degree of knowledge that someone uneducated in that field would not understand?

That's not what I meant. I mean that people working in these industries are some of the most educated, but yet these industries are a mess. If education is supposed to prepare people for work, then it would stand to reason that the professions with most highly educated workers would be the best.

Regarding knowledge, for example, why do they call a heart attack a myocardial infarction? It is just obfuscating with jargon.
