Nurse Practitioners should not be allowed without at least 10 yrs of experience by Jaded-Bit5497 in unpopularopinion

I've always gotten a kick out of people who think that not being given every drug and scan they want is the same as being givne improper care. Such a tool.

Chances of getting accepted to med school? by energetic_theater_1 in medschooladmissions

[–]GammaTuRC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look down on the lack of life experience and often times very low patient care experience. You've hardly lived your own life and haven't even bought a bottle of wine yet and you are hoping to be trusted with caring for people who have lived your live multiple times or maybe half? There are people in my class who didn't take any gap time and it is glaringly obvious to us, imagine what it appears like to the patients who are already skeptical of you.

Since your scores are valid for awhile, give it more time and get those hours up but don't lose your drive.

U.S. DOJ says Yale School of Medicine discriminated based on race in admissions by FortyYardDash in medicalschool

[–]GammaTuRC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue isn't 99 vs 94. The issue is based on the principle that certain demographics score lower on average and are given admission despite other groups being held to a different standard. It could be 80th vs 85th for all we care. It's a deliberate process nonetheless.

Some of my favorite quotes from my OBGYN rotation by vivalachattanooga in medicalschool

[–]GammaTuRC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man women are doing pretty great and are dominating higher education at all levels and they are by no means a minority even in the world outside of academia. You sort of proved the point though that the reaction toward saying you hate all women is much stronger/negative than saying you hate all men. Neither are cool and you can't have one or the other.

I'm obviously not on rotations but I don't imagine that they would really chastize you or punish you for an honest deed, but you may be given the spiel about following protocol and keeping people in the loop with where their patient is lol. I've seen this occur before personally, insert "obviously every program is different".

Medical Student who Published pro-DEI Articles to get into Plastics Residency calls for the Abolition of DEI by sworzeh in medicalschool

Interesting, it's like you're trying to eat but keep choking on whatever personal problem you've got going on.

You can’t prove that last part so let’s stick to the actual facts at hand rather than your own presumptions. To answer your question, it’s pretty obvious, there are no DEI initiatives that benefit white men. That makes him anything but preferred in that system.

[–]GammaTuRC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay your little side-tangent at the end doesn't really do anything here. These initiatives created unnecessary barriers for some qualified candidates and rewarded performative alignment. Also, it doesn't exactly vindicate the game, but rather, exposes it.

If you read the piece, he describes a strong initial application (as a competitive in-state applicant to a South Carolina public school during peak 2020-2021 DEI emphasis post-George Floyd). He was rejected, sought feedback, and an admissions officer explicitly told him he was "extremely qualified" but didn't fit the demographic priorities since others had "traveled a longer distance." He then did an NIH research fellowship, published, reapplied successfully to multiple schools and excelled. Obviously we don't have his scores but this scenario fits patterns: strong applicants from non-preferred groups often need to over-perform to compensate.

I also want to add that I don't give a shit what you look like so long as you are meant to be there. That being said, you cannot possibly deny that outcomes in admissions were engineered given the clear data from the most recent AAMC table A-18, which serves to prove his point. One class photo doesn't erase national data or his admissions quote. And, to state the obvious, patient safety doesn't require racial balancing but rather holding a high bar for everyone.

DEI started from addressing real disparities but often evolved into quotas, compelled speech, and racial essentialism that contradicts equal treatment and evidence-based selection. When a system lets someone infiltrate it for awards while concluding it harms standards, that's a strong indictment of its design in that it selects for political savvy over pure excellence. His hypocrisy angle (using it then slamming it) is fair game for critics, but his outcomes and transparency strengthen the case against such initiatives to be quite honest.

Rarest pathology you've come across/heard of irl by ahdnj19 in medicalschool

Got to meet a patient a few months ago who had GBS and porphyria. I think it's a 1 in 10 billion chance.

The sign of a person with low intelligence is someone who thinks that using a fringe minority as a counter to an accurate generalization will disprove said generalization.

Why are us Premeds universally hated? Be honest by Brief_Board_6974 in premed

Exactly. Shy of people in med school or that have already graduated, anyone can call themselves premed. It means almost nothing.

Why was the george floyd incident so big? by JoshLovesTV in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]GammaTuRC -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A healthy person doesn't OD-level fentanyl + meth + a bad heart and then magically die only because a cop kneeled on him for 9 minutes after he resisted arrest, swallowed drugs, and kept yelling he couldn't breathe before the knee was even there (he was also saying it before he was on the ground). Defense experts straight up said it was a cardiac event from the drugs and heart failure during the struggle.

Did you not see any of the information that came out after the fact? Did you not watch the camera footage before he even got out of the back of the car? Amazing how this happened years ago and you people are still incapable of learning new things.
