I'm having a difficult time parsing this as something other than a rhetorical question. It seems plain I am talking about my personal experiences. I referred to educating myself -- not about conducting research for formal publication. Were I to conclude personal findings that informed a publishable study, the first step of publication would be a literature review to report what is already known about the high error rate among healthcare professionals. It is extremely unlikely I would publish any original scientific research on the topic.

If phsycians were found to be particularly prone to bluffing at card games because of the implicit trust others place in them, would that not be informative about how they tend to use the trust they earn?

I don't understand emoticons -- at least not in terms others always confirm. I tend to read them as (which is to say "To me they sometimes seem to mean") "just kidding".
