“We want to make a difference through social justice. Thats why were 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.
