Jack,

I don't think you shirk away from your education. Just because I
have never seen or studied germs doesn't mean I should stop washing
my hands. 

Yes, in some cases a disconnect exists between academic research and
general practice, probably in all fields, and probably especially in
one where holding a more advanced degree is not required. 

However, the fact that practioners do not attempt to apply what
research they can, when it is appropriate and relevant, should not
diminish the value of that research. It may also be true that
academics should try to make more of an effort to get to know their
GP counterparts.
