What a bunch of cracker-hating racists.
I can say that despite minority-only tutoring sessions in which our professors basically gave away the answers to anatomy practicals, the “affirmative action” members of our medical school class were pretty much universally represented at the bottom. Everyone knew who they were. More than a handful never made it with passing grades.
I guess there’s always more room at the bottom, but some of these students had no business in a medical school class. I wouldn’t personally go to them as a doctor knowing what I know now.
Doesn’t mean they can’t eventually turn things around, but it sure didn’t happen over four-years of medical school.
It’s a sad state that I have to use this as a disclaimer for the rest of the minority kids in our class, as some of them absolutely deserved to be there. But the majority of the minority...let’s just say there were far more qualified candidates than they were.
If they pass the boards you call them Doctor. I don’t care what color they are as long as they come out of a very good school, something WAY ABOVE the level of Howard U.!
True. We all know the color of one’s skin is crucial to the practice of medicine / NOT!
“America definitely needs more “minority physicians”.”
Yes, we definitely do need more minority physicians. A minority physician, my definition, is one who thumbs his nose at the FDA and the AMA and practices in a complementary and alternative (CAM) way to provide optimal healthcare to the patient. And all of this at a significant reduction in overall medical services cost, along with patients being actually cured of ailments. Think of a world without pandemics of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, arthritis, etc. It can happen.
