The best Doctor I have got right now out of dozens of specialists is an Indian. Hard to understand but he figured out what all the others couldn’t. However, there was no Asian in that mix of Doctors.

This is not new, back in the 80’s a Professor of mine was forced to give a minority female medical student the Biochemistry final 3 times before she passed. Failing would have meant flunking out of Med school. It was implied that she never really passed, they just got tired of giving her the exam.

Affirmative Action doctor whose main criteria for getting into medical school was the color of their skin.

This is no doubt resulting in White people, and maybe other races, specifically choosing White doctors. People are entirely logical in selecting based on the criteria that will give them best odds at competence.

Bad enough that we already have to depend, most of the time, on Indian or Pakistani medical practitioners...

Now we will go even further down the intelligence & skills hole with stupid Americans?

Haha you made me chuckle at 130am. I’m glad he figured out your situation. Nobody is perfect in medicine, but listening to the patient, making the effort to research the problem, and being willing to think outside the box are qualities I wish every doctor would sentence.

“The stakes are too high (life and death) to start lowering standards or taking shortcuts with basic fundamental scientific knowledge necessary for developing critical thinking skills to diagnose and properly treat diseases,” Dr. Diana Blum, a neurologist in private practice, told The College Fix in an August 19 email inquiring about the program specifically.

Dr Jill must have told them that the only thing that matters is getting to say you’re a doctor.
