Political correctness, diversity, tort lawyers, insurance companies and meddling government agencies are among the list of reasons I decided to pursue computer science and electrical engineering instead of medical school. I graduated with a degree in Molecular Biology from UCSD at age 19. A year later, I was finished with my coursework for the master's in pathogenic bacteriology. I'm really not sorry about the change in direction. My sister pursued an RN and has worked at Mercy Hospital since 1978. She has had multiple occurrences of delivering a baby by C-section and being informed that the mother was infected with HIV AFTER the incision into her abdomen had been made. She has been stuck with hypodermic needles used on a person with full blown AIDS in spite of having used double gloves. No thanks. I'm not missing out on that world.

Congratulations on your escape!
Sorry your sister is trapped. Must be hard being in that professional situation and also watching your community go to heck. San Diego County used to be a wonderful place to live & work.
Maybe sis will learn from her brother's example ;-)
