[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you want anyone other than the brightest and most capable people in charge of your medical care? [/quote]

I want more English speaking proven high IQ American kids becoming doctors, I don't want tens of thousands of them being arbitrarily weeded out with curved STEM courses and senseless hoops and hyper-selective medical schools rejecting them.[/quote]

They're being weeded out because they aren't good, not because of curved classes. My God, what sort of entitled snowflakes do you want in charge of your medical care? I certainly don't want a doctor who can't even handle a curved class. [/quote]

Not really. They are weeded out because of the shortage of residencies. There’s enough demand for more doctors but the infrastructure is not in place provide the supply—partially because it is in the AMA’s interest to keep the supply of doctors lower and keep salaries higher [/quote]

If your kid can't even handle premed courses, she has no business becoming a doctor. [/quote]

I think many can “handle” them but are weeded out because they got a B and not an A. Sure you don’t want someone who failed but I don’t think that’s what we’re talking about here [/quote]

I absolutely do not want a doctor who can't even handle the not-very-hard work required in undergraduate pre-med degrees. My God. Stop trying to blame harder-working, smarter foreign students for the failure of your own child.[/quote]

You sound awful [/quote]
