Societal collapse.
Aha. A graduate of one of our top “alternative” medical schools.
I said that we should not. A vote was held. The majority agreed with me. Standards were not lowered.
Apparently things have changed there.
I am a physician. I refuse to have as one of my doctors someone who I suspect attended medical school as a subqualified affirmative action student. I also refuse to send my family and friends to such a person.
Medical schools make a very serious mistake when they lower their standards. Standards should be held at the highest, and students must rise to those highest standards.
I believe all the curve show the same date range of data; just that all other countries spend less then US. You can see some curve drop down and then go up or recede to the left then back to the right. To read the amount for a specific year you have to count the turns in each curve.
Ben Carson and Clarence Thomas have commented on how affirmative action stigmatizes the standing of black professionals. Unfortunately it puts the competence of all of them in question, and it looks like it’s only going to get worse.
Yep, you don’t see a lot of tubby 80 year olds.
Luckily, we are of an age that unless there are special circumstances our doctors are also of an age to have escaped this scourge.
Decades ago, it often was the opposite. Decades ago, my wife was hired as the office nurse for a new doctor in town.
Most of the established gps/fps were good with bedside and patient discussions. They were often 20-30 years behind positive newer treatment methods.
In a few months many patients fled the older gps/fps to the new doctor and his staff. In less than a year, he closed his practice to new patients.
He brought a couple of new doctors into town, and that trend continued with them.
Over the past 2.5 years, most of the medical community has utterly beclowned itself by supporting all kinds of stupidity in the name of “COVID”.
That's the nub, isn't it?
What's going on appears to be a kind of very powerful brainwashing.
Brainwashing usually isn't that powerful and requires reinforcement over time. Just thinking out loud here, but perhaps by creating an echo chamber of like-minded brainwashed people (the way the Left has done in the U.S.), you create a continual "reinforcement" mechanism.
If that is the case, someone or some organization put a lot of time, preparation, and money into building a brainwashing program/mechanism for people in the U.S.
I mean, this brainwashing thing is without precedent. It's a really big deal.
You beat me to it. There aren’t too many professional occupations that have lost more credibility over the last two years than medical doctors.
RATs and RINOs have ruined the best medical care in the world with Obozocare.
The whole system is a government run disaster and I can’t think of too many people who have much trust in doctors since they allowed themselves to be bullied into bad medicine regarding covid 19. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Prior to that, they were just a body, sitting behind a ‘puter pushing pills for their overlords Big Pharma and the socialist bureaucracy.
They used to be well trained diagnosticians who made their own decisions and forged a trust with patients.
“I do not understand how someone can justify turning down a highly qualified candidate because of their race so they can accept a lower qualified candidate because of their race.”
Neither did Allan Bakke.

Who went in his place?

The resultant victim.
“While still basking in the warmth of media hype and just months after Edward Kennedy’s pean to Chavis as a defense of black racial privilege, he performed liposuction on 43-year-old Tammaria Cotton and killed her. “
Go woke make people dead.
Nowadays, apparently, going to a hospital, unless you’re in real distress, is stupid.
If I go to a doctor that don’t know the difference between boys and girls I am changing doctors.
“I believe all the curve show the same date range of data”
I think you’re correct.
I think part of the problem is our fattie lifestyle but our medical costs are truly a disgrace.
What do they call the person who finishes last in their Med School Class? Answer: Doctor
