I have a worrying feeling that I am suppossed to know all this stuff for my degree.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

A vast majority of the people that I have seen don't retain much of that information, the basics and knowing where to look things up is the biggest thing.

Rob can introduce you to this fellow named Dewey also...

I was thinking of lawyers, programmers, and the such that can resort to looking things up as needed, doctors also, since all these tests done these days give them ample time to consult the net or hospital library....

Doesn't really work if you are a GP. Or in Casualty. Or lots of other places.
