In his 50 years of teaching, students’ attitudes have changed: “The ‘Oh, keep government out of my work’ feeling is not as strong as it was with maybe older cohorts,” said Schroeder. “Students come in saying, ‘We want to make a difference through social justice. That’s why we’re here.’”

That makes me sick, if true. However, leftists project a lot of things onto millennials that don't tend to be true. Remember when they were all going to give up their cars, live downtown, and take public transportation? You don't hear much today about the fact that they're buying cars and moving to the suburbs just like prior generations now that they are growing up.

“‘We want to make a difference through social justice. That’s why we’re here.’”

Social justice is an absolute joke. It’s a catch phrase that means essentially nothing. I would bet that ‘social justice’ as a concept was spouted by those narcissistic and delusional POS who ruined the Venezuelan economy and caused horrible suffering amongst the people of that country. The concept of ‘social justice’ is largely a construct through which privileged and self-absorbed liberal morons try to elevate their self-importance.

Since the beginning of medicine as a profession a great many of those who practice medicine have given free care to those who couldn’t afford it. I’ve taught medical students for a significant number of years now, and it is those who are committed to staying late and doing whatever is necessary to contribute to the care of their patients who are the principled students. Many of the ‘medical policy’ and ‘social justice’ crowd are lazy and self-absorbed, don’t spend any more time than they have to on rotations, and will go on to destroy medicine from within rather than save the lives of patients. That’s just a fact.
