here*. I attended a fairly competivite university
and new a lot of friends that were pre-med that
went on to medical school. A lot of these friends
had connections in families in the medical community
or lots of money and bought their way into medical
school. These were people who graduated with
english and history majors undergrad.
I'm sorry, but I really liked these friends, but
I would not trust them treating my cat.I did have friends with really good science and engineering
backgrounds that went to med school and I would
trust any one of these guys with my life.I do believe there are a lot of "stupid"
doctors. Frankly I think most are at best
walking encyclopedias. There are good ones though
and they have the ability to use deductive thinking
to solve problems efficiently instead of follow
flow-chart treatments and throwing darts at
boards (shot-gun approach of meds).-john
