When I took it, [b]the average was a C.[/b]  
I don't know the specifics of this guy but it's hardly new for many people to fail organic chemistry.  [/quote]

A “C” is, by definition, average.[/quote]
would you go to just an "average" doctor?[/quote]

Most of them are. That’s the thing about average.[/quote]

Based on the current trend, you will not get an "average" doctor,   You will get an incompetent doctor in about 8 years.[/quote]

Based on the old trend, rich average white dudes, we currently have too many average doctors.

Now we have top students going to med school based on skills, not who they know.[/quote]

PP, really curious what your profession is?  You does not have a clue how one becomes a doctor in the old trend.  I think you are confused medical schools with law schools/business schools.[/quote]

I’m an engineer making medical devices.

Doctors are not really smart people. They had parents willing to pay for med school, they were good at memorizing and taking tests, they are just “good students”.

If you are really sick you will not go to the doctor closest to your house. You will go to Hopkins, or medstar or md Anderson (if you are smart). Why because you know the good doctors end up there.

10% are amazing
10% more are great
10% more are pretty good most the time
The rest leave much to be desired.

What are the source of your "amazing" "great" "pretty good" doctor %s? ?  You do not know a thing about MDs.  Please do not make people laugh at you.[/quote]

Poor little bunny.

Your itty bitty feeling are hurt.[/quote]
DP... this only makes you seem even less reliable, and really immature, too.  Maybe you are the one who is butt hurt about something?[/quote]

Google ad hominem and wave the white flag girl.[/quote]
