I think "jerk" will do just fine.
Ha! Jerk is good. I'll just use my usual title for doctors, "insufferable prick."
On the topic of doctors always know best, I read a really interesting study recently about out-dated, stupid stuff that doctors still believe... One part that sticks with me is that the researchers found that docs still buy that business about hair and fingernails continuing to grow after people die. It was really shocking/funny in a scary way--I'll try to find it again.
Recently I told a doctor that I take cranberry supplements for a bladder problem I have and that I've found that it also helps me get over colds faster (research has found that cranberries interfere w/ cold & flu pathogens adhering to cell walls the same way they do w/ bacteria that cause urinary infections).
So anyway, the doctor nods and says, rather dismissively, "Because of the vitamin C."
Which was really funny to me, because a) that's not why it works at all, and b) the newest findings are that vitamin C
doesn't really work.
