Not so much that; he’s just an animal.
We work on recommendations for "the best in the area" from friends who were patients or from docs we know personally. Or sometimes, it's somebody we were given during a visit to the Emergency Room who impressed the heck out of us. That usually turns out to be a white male, usually a Jew or Catholic who worked his way through college and graduated from one of the "name" medical schools. Did come up with one female dermatologist that way (from the Philippines). She was great, but it's hard to book her, because she doesn't work as many office hours as the males in her group. I think she has a family.
And we've been seen by a fair number of clueless, cold, female weirdos, especially in OB-GYN, who seemed like lesbos, whom we blew off STAT. There must be a lesbo quota in some of these schools, too.
“What do you call the person who graduates at the bottom of the medical school class? Doctor.”
Actually, it should be:
“What do you call the person who graduates at the bottom of the medical school class? A Piss Poor Doctor.”
Or
“What do you call the person who graduates at the bottom of the medical school class? A Witch Doctor.”
Or
“What do you call the person who graduates at the bottom of the medical school class? An Affirmative Action, Medically Incompetent Wanna-Be Obama-Doctor.”
I’m right there with you.
Amen.
So. . .are we to understand you have no issue with a less qualified black applicant being accepted to medical school over, say, you, your son, your daughter, wife?
That, or an Indian. A squad of Indian endocrinologists (dot not feather) saved my daughter's life when she was heading toward a diabetic coma. They are on top of their game. Her current endo is Chinese.
And yes, the poison of AA is that before when you had a black doc you knew he worked his ass off in med school. Now you assume he skated through because of AA. It has HARMED the people it was intended to help, like any other liberal idea.
So it's okay for blacks to get the low scoring doctor?
“And yes, the poison of AA is that before when you had a black doc you knew he worked his ass off in med school. Now you assume he skated through because of AA. It has HARMED the people it was intended to help, like any other liberal idea.”
FANTASTIC analysis!!! I’d beyond obsurd that this conversation is even happening. But, like you perfectly stated, “It has HARMED the people it was intended to help”.
In spades.
As I’ve always said, no way would I ever let a black surgeon cut into me.
I’ll take my chances waiting in line for the white surgeon, thank you.
What about black airline pilots? Who knows how many are flying that don’t deserve to be.
Yes indeedy...in fact, I would probably search them out.
Exactly right.
Whoever it was that came up with George Bush's, "The soft bigotry of low expectations" hit the nail on the head,
So I take it we can call you ‘doctor’?
As long as there is no affirmative action and all pilots are certified in the same way, I wouldn't care if an NBA team was at the stick.
Either we have standards.... or we do not.
That is what I meant, what if AA seeps into the airlines?
Doc is OK
Ha ha.
Pediatricians are the lowest paid doctors around. THAT may be why SMART people avoid becoming one.
You are so right! And I will add the name of my doctor.
