Maybe if there was a good system other than race, gender, how big a town you are from, and how much ass you have kissed to accept med students I wouldn't feel this way.

Im a white male...my family members were teachers and coal miners. My dad broke the cycle and did well in business. I had zero connections and paid my own way through school. I beat the odds of AA and Im proud to say I didnt need to kiss ass to make my way. I spoke my mind and backed it with research. I worked hard. The fact is a white male has to work alot harder than a black female to get into med school. Did you know that OSU has a minority track into med school. They merely have to maintain a 3.0 or above and its an instant ticket into med school. This happens while white males with a 3.9 MCATS in the 30's are on the waiting list. I agree with you the current system sucks. Dont hate docs...hate the system.

I stand corrected. It is the system I hate.

There alot of good docs that care about taking care of people. I am one of them. But any white male that has aspirations of becoming a doc needs to be aware of the long road ahead.

As always good talking to you.

No - there are plenty of docs out there in the real world just like you. And they are the ones that I personally despise the most. Those are the ones that make you wait 1/2 hour in the waiting room, and kick you out of the office if you say you're bothered by having to sit there for 1/2 hour each time you come in for an appointment. They don't like you to point out they have a problem with scheduling patients. Just like you throwing a hissy fit because you don't like someone correcting your spelling...

The most impressive doctor I've ever met was a headache expert I met at a very large clinic. You would NEVER know he was one of the leading experts in the world. His demeanor was - "I don't know everything there is to know about headaches - I just know what works and what doesn't work". This guy came into the room with 5 residents trailing him. I'd suggest to you those residents will learn from his humble demeanor, and be a GOOD doctor. Caring about what the patient thinks - even though it's contrary to their own beliefs.

Arrogance is the WORST thing you can bring into the medical field. That is EXACTLY what will get you into trouble. Clearly you have issues with that - and if you choose to ignore it, or play it down - be prepared... There will be those willing to exploit that in a courtroom...

I am willing to respond to this post because its legit. I usually have to wait 30 minutes to have my hair cut. With that said I rarely make patients wait because i respect their time. The problem isnt scheduling but its the patients that have 7 needs to be addressed and dont tell the staff and dont respect the docs time. I had a mother today who wanted 3-4 requests per child (2) addressed and I had 10 minutes a piece to do so...at the end she wanted her third childs needs addressed. He wasnt even on my schedule. Its those patients that get us behind. Guys like you want to be in and out and I respect that. The pateints like yourself get screwed. If you have a cold tell the staff...but if you have mulitple issues tell the staff so they can give us more time. Problem comes when patients come up with 45 minutes of stuff that cant be addressed in 10 minutes.

My point exactly - rather than fix the problem, make excuses. And then when you can't get the excuses to work - the patient's an asshole - right?

Oh, just like you did when you posted a lie about how most doctors are like you and have poor spelling and grammar skills.

We're still waiting for you to "back it up with research"

You are so full of shit, this isn't even funny anymore........
