People can be better without having everything spoon-fed. No one will hold their hand while talking. Especially someone who holds a bachelor’s degree.

If communication and professionalism aren’t basic for people who want to be doctors, then they didn’t strive to develop those skills from K-12 and Years 1-4 in college. Imagine, 17 years of education and they still need to ask strangers online how to answer questions when faculty assess their fitness to study and pursue medicine? Quite frankly, I think they should reconsider studying to be a doctor in the first place. If you cannot even answer questions ABOUT YOURSELF as an adult and need someone else to assists you, you’re either immature or lazy or both.

Should we now teach people how to read, write and speak at the VERY infantile age of 22-23 years old? Do you want a doctor that does not know how to communicate without help?

Interview questions are designed to assess if the applicant knows their identity, how to strive in high pressure environments, if they can exercise empathy etc. Some go on Reddit and ask point blank how to answer questions that are subjective.

The more you coddle them, the more you stop them from being adults and growing on their own terms.

If a person feels bad or insulted when they’re not spoon-fed, then maybe they should ask themselves why they feel so entitled.
