a retaliatory exclamation when you disagree with someone that their opinion makes them unfit to be a doctor...burnett's law is that inevitably any disagreement here will eventually come to that because people are petty.
it often manifests in the form of a veiled implied threat/shame of the opinion, "I bet you wouldn't tell your dean that you think...", "better not let your attending catch you saying....", or in this case, "I bet your PD would love to see you posting here..."
"you are an utter shame to medicine" is a little more of a direct Burnetts-ing...
