What on Earth Is Going on at the University of Wisconsin’s Medical School?

The extent of its racial discrimination is eye-popping.

Medical schools hold the weighty responsibility of deciding who can become a doctor. So one would hope that they would approach this task with the goal of selecting those persons who have the greatest potential to become good doctors. Yet medical schools have long been riddled with leftist admissions officers who prioritize their racial preferences over improving the health care system — and saving people’s lives.

There has been some limited movement away from racist admissions decision-making since the Supreme Court ruled two years ago that “affirmative action” is an illegal violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Alas, many medical schools are dodging the law in pursuit of their racist agendas.

One of the worst offenders — and shockingly so — is the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. They are not even trying to hide the extent to which they are racially discriminating. (RELATED: Creative Destruction Comes to Universities)

We learned the sordid extent of this last week when the organization Do No Harm released data it had gathered from 23 medical schools through Freedom of Information Act requests.

At the University of Wisconsin medical school, black applicants are six times more likely to be admitted than Asian applicants. When black and Asian students test at the same percentile in the upper-middle range of MCAT scores, this increases to a twelvefold differential.

This means applicants of different races have entirely separate sets of admissions standards at Wisconsin. The average accepted black student had an MCAT score in the 62nd percentile, while the average white student was in the 86th percentile and the average Asian student was in the 87th percentile. Astoundingly, the average MCAT score for white and Asian applicants who were rejected was higher than the...

My MD is Nigerian, went to Med School there. Brilliant man, best doc ever.
Did his residence in U.S hospital l that my friends, MDs married to each other, said is one of best in the US.

But selecting candidates because they are Black is a different matter altogether. Should NOT happen.

If underqualified minorities are admitted to and graduated from most college programs, the amount of damage that is done is often subtle - a DEI minority who gets a degree in some worthless ethnicstudies program takes up the spot of someone more qualified and productive, but the resulting social and economic harm that's done can be hard hard to prove and quantify.

In contrast, churning out unqualified minority medical doctors has the potential to literally become a life or death problem with an immediate impact on the daily lives of just about everyone. Who in his right mind would trust a neurosurgeon with his life and limb when that surgeon got where he is thanks to DEI quotas?

Lucky for us AI will be our doctors soon. Human doctors will be AI assistants. DEI doctors will be working at Starbucks. AI will make getting a second opinion a lot easier as well.

The problem is that it is a direct violation of Title IX.

“AI will make getting a second opinion a lot easier as well”

May your AI be programmed by Pfizer and Anthony Fauci.

I am a physician. I am extremely careful in selecting a physician for myself or my family. There are some real dodoheads out there. On the other hand, some of the best people and the most brilliant are physicians. Many deserve to be revered.

I can tell what kind of medicine a physician practices by the way his secretary answers the telephone.

“May your AI be programmed by Pfizer and Anthony Fauci.”

Might as well be now. Most of my current doctors and specialists are programmed by the health care system they are employed by. When prescribed drugs I always ask about alternative treatments including other drugs, lifestyle changes, etc. The answer is almost always, “My recommendation follows the hospital system protocol for your particular symptoms.”

Most Americans, who see young doctors employed by big hospital systems already are assigned the treatment protocol approved by the hospital system and the big insurance companies. Big Pharma and the FDA are also contributors to the development of these protocols. One reason concierge practices are popping up is people who can afford it want custom treatment.

AI diagnosis and treatment is simply the final step on the road to assembly line medicine where one size fits all. Just think how much can be save to have an AI bot diagnose the patient and prescribe the treatment instead of paying a medical school trained and licensed physician.

I have Kaiser. When I go to the doctor they now know not to suggest any vaccines to me if they have Mrna in them. I have noticed over the years the number of my friends and family members who have have medicine reactions. It seems to be Russian roulette.

Hey, if AI is as good at analyzing medical problems as reported maybe all doctors in the future will need is a high school diploma.

There’s a simple solution. Make a note of every single graduate from their medical school, and make a website to notify people so they can be avoided.

That's a great idea!

When will you have it operational?

For those of you approaching Medicare, if you want to CHOOSE your own doctors, for any reason, based on any criteria, you SURE AS HELL need to stay away from Part C, also called “Medicare Advantage” as you’ll effectively be in an HMO, needing approval to see anyone other than your DEI Primary Care ‘doctor’.

Likewise, don’t be fooled by the “Medicare Advisors” who are paid by Medicare (not you) and are given 3 times as much for placing people into Part C plans (according to one video that I watched, at least...but it does make sense).

"Yeah."

"What did you say your name was?"

"Who?"

"What?"

"He ain't in."

or on the other hand

"Yes, of course. He is in but can't come to the phone. I can have him call you right back." (Then he does.)

"He's not in, but I'll get in touch with him, and he'll call you right back."

"Yes. One moment."
