[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest attends a top college and she's not pursuing pre-med but many of her friends are (or were). These pre-med girls (and boys) are verified brilliant, with grit and outgoing genuinely nice personalities. Yet their college and every top 100 American university weeds out at least 50% of them. Can someone tell me why? These kids go from wanting to serve people to becoming "consultants" or wall street money changers or lawyers. This has to be the most ass backwards disservice to health care in this country. Then we import Asia and Middle East-trained MDs with subpar training and awful bedside manner. I just don't get it.

Simple.

Brilliant foreigners are ten times more brilliant than those "brilliant" girls you know.

They have been exposed to much more challenging learning environments and learned a ton in the process.[/quote]

This is total horsecrap. And the biggest medicaid scams in US history are [b]exclusively[/b] foreign-trained doctors.[/quote]
