That said the answer to that question is ridiculous.

What are you basing your statement on??? Ignoring all the post secondary training that takes place in the class room, the last 1.5 year of med school is all clinical training and then many do a specialist residency of 5 or more years.
Clerkship = 8hours * 5days * 50 weeks * 1.5 years = 3000 hours
Specialist Residency = 10 hours * 5 days * 48 weeks * 5 years = 12000 hours.
......~15000 hours of clinical training before independent practice.
This even ignores countless hours spent on call, and the extra fellowship year(s) (~Fellowship = 10 hours * 5 days * 50 weeks = 2500 hours) done by many specialists if they want a job in a major city.
Get your facts straight if you want to debunk a "myth".
