It would seem that admitting unqualified students to the medical school would contribute to the problem.
REALLY SCARY SHITE ... esp. a “diversity” anesthesiologist in the OR room for something like open heart surgery ...
And this crackpot Lucero got a 1.5 million dollar federal grant to do more of this stuff.
To be treated by one of these democrat DEI “doctors” is equivalent to being treated by a voodoo Shaman. No difference at all.
May as well go to a High Priestess of Gaia, and have her look at the entrails of a goat to determine how to treat your condition. /spit
For example, she often misplaced important medical reports and laboratory results, which was very dangerous. She was utterly unreliable. She could not understand my anger at her incompetence. To her, "All you need is a loving heart" (but not competence).
I had her transferred to some other place in the hospital where her incompetence was not so dangerous.
They use “first generation”, “economic hardship”, sob story essay scoring, regional preferences and plain old fraud to exclude any and every White male they think they can get away with.
White kids getting into the UC’s have to have a >4.2GPA and typically 6-8 AP courses behind them. You can be assured that the 35% “hispanic” students aren't anywhere close to that. But they get in with the aforementioned scams.
As for medical school, I know White females with a 3.9GPA in things like Biomedical Engineering and THEY can't get in.
The truth is that there are far too few med school slots in this country which is why foreign docs are now such a large cohort when they used to be almost unheard of. But the slots we do have are going to Protected Class people with average to good resumes in many cases, for “social justice”.
What they don’t discuss is that if these unqualified, ‘disadvantaged’ student make it into the world as doctors they are going to not only be unqualified but are going to carry an animus against White patients, especially older White males. Do you really want someone like that putting you to sleep before surgery?
It’s the EXACT SAME with anything liberal - you can outlaw it all you want (race-based admissions, DEI, sexualizing kids, etc.), but as long as the people who do that crap remain in their positions, it’s futile - as they simply come up with ‘work-arounds’.
Medical students should be routinely put on the spot. They will be on the spot constantly when practicing medicine. They must be trained to act on the spot!
The tyrant that is head of the application process, Lucero, who is admitting many sub-par candidates should be held financially responsible when the medical malpractice suits start rolling in.
Example of what is being taken as a "Hippocratic Oath" today:
As the entering class of 2020, we start our medical journey amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and a national civil rights movement reinvigorated by the killings of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery. We honor the 700,000+ lives lost to COVID-19, despite the sacrifices of health care workers.
We recognize the fundamental failings of our health care and political systems in serving vulnerable communities. This oath is the first step in our enduring commitment to repairing the injustices against those historically ignored and abused in medicine: Black patients, Indigenous patients, Patients of Color and all marginalized populations who have received substandard care as a result of their identity and limited resources.
Acknowledging the privilege and responsibility that come with being a physician, I take this oath as a call to action to fulfill my duty to patients, to the medical profession and to society.
Thereby, I pledge as a physician and lifelong student of medicine:
I will support and collaborate with my colleagues across disciplines and professions, while respecting the patient’s vital role on the health care team.
I will honor my physical, mental and emotional health so as to not lessen the quality of care I provide.
I will carry on the legacy of my predecessors by mentoring the next generation of diverse physicians.
I will recognize the pivotal role of ethical research in the advancement of medicine and commit myself to endless scholarship with the ultimate goal of improving patient care.
I will care for my patients’ holistic well-being, not solely their pathology. With empathy, compassion and humility, I will prioritize understanding each patient’s narrative, background and experiences while protecting privacy and autonomy.
I will champion diversity in both medicine and society, and promote an inclusive environment by respecting the perspectives of others and relentlessly seeking to identify and eliminate my personal biases.
I will be an ally to those of low socioeconomic status, the BIPOC community, the LGBTQIA+ community, womxn/women, differently-abled individuals and other underserved groups in order to dismantle the systemic racism and prejudice that medical professionals and society have perpetuated.
I will educate myself on social determinants of health in order to use my voice as a physician to advocate for a more equitable health care system from the local to the global level.
I will restore trust between the health care community and the population in which I serve by holding myself and others accountable, and by combating misinformation in order to improve health literacy. v In making this oath, I embrace the ever-changing responsibilities of being a physician and pledge to uphold the integrity of the profession in the clinic and beyond.
That reputation used to be very valuable to them. Can they recover?
