19. The finished product is always polished and slick

My issue is that these individuals who report on medical issues, with a few exceptions, are untrained in the complexities of the art and science of medicine and overlook the important subtleties of the subject.

Not for one moment did I say that the individuals were incompetent in the editing and eventual presentation, but conveying the information and appropriate contexts was most difficult because I had to keep overriding existing prejudices which had nothing to do with the subject. The equivalent would be interviewing a highway engineer and returning to the fact that “my sister was in a bad car accident once”.

My apologies for belaboring the point.
