"It's not my job to explain"

I went to the eye doctor for a consult, referred by my neurologist. He went to Harvard and let everyone know about it. So he looked into my dilated eyes and said that my optic nerve was swollen and under pressure from some source. When I said I didn't understand, that I didn't understand the implication of my optic nerve being swollen and under pressure, and could he explain it to me, he replied "it's not my job to explain it to you; it's my job to look in your eyes." Thanks, useless asshole. If you didn't want to deal with patients, you should have become a researcher. It's like a lawyer who doesn't like clients. If you're a lawyer with an undying urge to be an asshole, you should just become a professor or a textbook author. That way, everyone expects you to inflict your attempted intellectual superiority on everyone else. But real clients and/or patients expect you to provide answers. And if you can't or won't, you shouldn't be doing the job because you're NOT doing the job.
