He asked 3 questions to a presenter. This issue was presenting one account of anecdotal evidence as scientific fact. You learn in elementary science fair to have more than one example.

Doctors must know how to read scientific journals and trials to parse out fact from ‘placebo’.

If asking 3 valid questions about what is supposed to be a well funded research project gets the wheels spinning to get a student kicked out of school by deans and professors, there is a much greater problem here.

If this goes against the ‘values’ of a school, was that made clear before starting the school. Was ‘do not question’ a value they stated that could lead to expulsion?

Well, first amendment applies to jerks too, not just exemplary citizens.

He is free to stand on the corner and rant about microaggression. But organizations also have a right to hold you to account for your speech if it is antithetical to its values.

Exactly. Especially a medical institution that must ensure all its patients are treated with respect and dignity regardless of their racial background. I work in healthcare and I wish more doctors received training on microaggressions. Lots of implicit bias among healthcare workers.

How is this “very Soviet Union?” Was there borscht? You make no sense.

S/he makes plenty of sense, and you are an idiot. Can the desire for comedy and pick up a history book.

How about you explain the parallels as requested? You aren’t very convincing.

He lacks decorum.

So do a lot of people. It’s not a crime or even a character flaw

But it may be a reason to get kicked out of med school, when coupled with other complaints.

And lots of people don’t get to become doctors.

I actually think they do not want to graduate a mentally unstable doctor.

Being rude and combative is not protected. Your work/school can correct you for being rude and combative.

Does anyone know where he went to undergrad and if there were any previous controversies ?
