The disciplines you cited as posing difficulty for aspiring MDs are really not that complicated. The skill and maturity required to navigate those studies establishes a reasonable threshold for qualifying medical practitioners.
BTW, I believe PAs can write scripts.
q_an_a sounds like a doctor wannabe that couldn't cut it. (We've both seen the type a million times.)
Quack politically correct “doctors”
Just great.
At least in our state medical school Calculus is not even required. The relevant requirements:
Physics
A complete introductory course (1 year), including lab and instruction
Mathematics
College algebra and trigonometry. Applicants who completed college algebra and trigonometry in high school must take either an advanced college mathematics course or a statistics course
Below is a description of the courses which would satisfy the Medical School Physics requirement. These courses are pretty typical for someone pursuing a BA (not BS) in Chemistry/Biochemistry. The Community College equivalent of these courses is taught at our High School and is the Physics that the high performing students take.
880:054. General Physics I — 4 hrs.
(PHYSICS 1511)
Algebra-based introductory course covering Newtonian mechanics, gravitation, and thermal physics. Emphasis on conceptual understanding of physical principles through group investigations and lab activities. Discussion/lab, 5 periods. Prerequisite(s): high school algebra and trigonometry or equivalent. (Offered Fall and Spring)
880:056. General Physics II — 4 hrs.
(PHYSICS 1512)
Algebra-based introductory course covering electricity, magnetism, optics, and modern physics. Emphasis on conceptual understanding of physical principles through group investigations and lab activities. Discussion/lab, 5 periods. Prerequisite(s): 880:054 (PHYSICS 1511) or 880:130 (PHYSICS 1701). (Offered Fall and Spring)
OR....what race.
If you think drugs “fix” mental problems then you need to seek the truth some more.
I will avoid all doctors who come from these dumbed down med schools
Who has to see a doctor every three months for a routine prescription?
