If anyone knows why it's called practicing I'd be interested to hear about it

Could be because Medicine isn't certain.. Your never absoulutly sure of a cure, and your constantly practising in order to find a cure for everything?

Indeed, accountants, lawyers, most of the professions practice - not just a medical thing.

That's my understanding. Medicine is not an exact science....

Re: What annoys you about your job?

Well. I support students in 2 computer labs. One thing that irritates me is getting asked the same question (word for word almost) nearly 70 times because the f**k**g lecturer did not explain something properly in their lecture*. This has happened throughout most of the last two weeks.

*If one or two students ask me the same question, I assume they have not understood what has been taught to them. If nearly the whole class ask me the same question, I assume it has not been properly explained.

I have that as well. I really hate it when a student comes to see me, asks me a question. Then, when I answer they tell me I am wrong, when I know I am right.

I usually feel like saying "if you know enough to tell me I am wrong, why are you asking?"
