> This is particularly evident on medical and health related submissions.

HN users, tech people in general, are biased against doctors and medicine. I don't think that can be generalized to technology discussion.

I've seen a few doctors posting here on HN. I'm among them. Medical discussion is useful to me since I can gain perspective on how medical practice works in other countries.
