"HELLO EVERYBODEE!"

Surgeons, cardiologists and psychiatrists often take center stage in the medical field.
But a new program at Texas Tech's Health Sciences Center is all about family doctors.
The university unveiled Tuesday a three-year medical degree to help address a shortage of primary care physicians in West Texas and across the nation. The new program will allow medical students to complete their degree in three years, rather than the typical four. They'll also receive a $13,000 scholarship to cover tuition and fees during their first year, Tech Chancellor Kent Hance said.
"They get a scholarship in the first year, and don't have to take the fourth year, so the cost is half," Hance said at a Tuesday press conference. "This is really innovative, and to see we're the first ones doing it makes me really proud."

"HELLO EVERYBODEE!"
I had the summer off between my freshman and sophomore years of medical school so they could get three additional months there but the schedules are packed and there is no fluff so I don’t know how well this will work.
Why not a one year program, six months? Come on folks...
Can’t we get serious about good health care? LMAO
Don’t want one of those docs. I figured this was going to happen. We now have dumbing down of doctors.
thre monts ago i cud not even spel docktor and now i are one.
Before long it will be internet independent study.
Hmm. Based on _that_ I probably could hang out my shingle now...
Just come out with a “Surgery For Dummies” book, problem solved.
Do they have a correspondence course?...................
Just get one of those fake diplomas off the internet. Never have to crack open a book.
'Right, kick ass. Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're f'd up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your s--t's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, like, you know what I mean, like...'
ok, thats funny.
Funny thing is, who would want to even become a doctor anymore? Obozocare will stifle the profession. I predict more will leave it.
I will keep an eye out for their matchbooks
With over 40% of doctors saying they will retire before HellCare kicks in, we can either accept this approach or we can go the route of Britain and import foreign doctors to fill the gap. That’s how they wound up with a cell of jihadist Muslim doctors who tried to blow up their airport.
I can print my own. Don’t even need the Internet................
Hey, me too...
LOL
