[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you choose physicians based on race which you see as a proxy for SAT/ACT scores and HS GPA, which you see as the only sure way to assess merit?

Seriously, once admitted to college (on whatever basis — how do you know that white doctor didn’t get in because he was a jock or a legacy?), people have to graduate with good grades to get into med school.  And then they have to graduate from med school to become doctors. They have multiyear residencies before licensure. Many then do fellowships in specific practice areas and/or get board-certified as well.  Both patients and other doctors recommend or affiliate with (or sue or report or discipline) physicians based on their experiences working with them.  All of this information exists and much of it is easily accessible to prospective patients.

But none of that matters because once you know Harvard College has a race-conscious admissions process then no black doctor can be trusted to be qualified and, to be safe, you better stick with an Asian or white doctor.  Incroyable![/quote]

Dumb argument..  Regardless of how someone got into med school, if the stayed the course and completed, they have the credentials to treat you.  Affirmative action does not matter in this case.  All they need to do is make sure they don't behave like a-holes like some doctors do.[/quote]
