Chemistry. The root of all evil.

Money is no longer the root of all evil. It has been replaced by chemistry. How can blowing things up possibly be good for someone studying to be a PA (Physician Assistant)? I mean really, blowing stuff up is fun and it can be used to release a lot of anger and frustration, but I think the idea is to make sure your patients survive. Consequently, blowing patients up doesn't help them survive. It makes the matter worse. Thus, chemistry is the most ridiculous class someone in the medical field should have to take. I have taken this up with my advisor at Bethel, who happens to be a biology professor, and his stance is that he doesn't make the rules nor does he enforce them, but if I plan to continue studying in the PA program at Bethel I had best do as the course catalog says. Which leads me to next point who decides what majors require what classes? At the present time I still have not received a straight forward answer. The only reason this really bothers me is because I, the PA student, have to take chemistry, but a fellow student, who is studying nursing, does not have to take chemistry. This worries me because I, in my observance through shadowing and personal visits to doctor's offices and hospitals, have noticed that in many cases the nurses do more of the work. So, if chemistry is so stupendously important to my success in the medical field why is not as important to the nursing students. I don't know about everybody else, but if a nurse is going to perform a procedure for me I really want them to know what they're doing.
