    Your comparisons of a modern doctor to Marilyn Monroe…

    I compared Monroe to Taylor Swift.

    I compared the doctor to a plumber.

      Yeah and they are still bad comparisons. A doctor will command respect and prestige in their community in a way unfortunately a plumber will generally not. Inflation and technological advancements don’t really change that.

      Your argument seems cousin to the Fox News type about microwaves and refrigerators. I don’t really think it makes sense to make these time traveling comparisons at all.
