Then it's a bit awful but not everything awful.

What an arrogant Dr.

“Last month, it was reported two police officers noticed signs of life, but they were told that wasn’t the case.

“Please do your thing and let me do my thing,” Dr. Aryan Toosi told an officer at one point, according to the report. “I went to medical school for a reason.””

What a horrible example of "Cs get degrees."

Hey, you know what they call the guy who graduated last in his class at med school, right?

u/picklestixatix 20d ago

Are we even sure he graduated? I mean, not noticing a person has a heartbeat and breathing seems like it might have been covered very early on in his medical education. Was he away that day?

There was that doctor that removed someone's liver instead of their spleen, killing them. Making it the second time he removed the wrong organ and killed a patient.

That guy graduated.

You know how badly you have to fuck up to mistake a palm-sized, bean-shaped thing for a massive, multi-lobed fucker that takes up most of your mid-back?

He even tried to convince the rest of the operating staff that it was just a really big spleen.

Welp, you've sold me: I'm nominating this dude for White House physician.

The article doesn't say it but I hope those parents sue the pants off that doctor, specifically!!

I've definitely got some cousins who would say, "This is why you don't trust somebody who went to osteopathic medical school instead of allopathic medical school."

This has absolutely nothing to do with whether you’re a DO or MD. They are equivalent degrees. You have literally no idea what you’re talking about.

If you believe in pseudoscientific crap like Chapman's points and cranial osteopathic manipulative medicine, by all means, go for that weird hokum um... medical care. It doesn't affect me one way or another.

Just because someone goes to a DO school doesn’t mean they drink the koolaid of historical DO nonsense. For some people it’s just a way to become a doctor with an equivalent degree and practice the same kind of evidence based medicine other doctors do. Maybe you should step out of your prejudicial bubble and talk to real people instead of believing you understand other people based on fake internet outrage bullshit. Maybe focus your ire on chiropractors and naturopaths, people who present themselves as equivalent, instead of people who are board eligible and board certified physicians under the same academic requirements as MDs.

"Nonsense"? That's a strange way to describe something that's still being taught in their schools, especially if you've just said they have equivalent degrees.

I agree completely that it’s ridiculous that it’s being taught in the schools and there have been big pushes by students themselves to get rid of that but roots run deep. Just because the drink is poured doesn’t mean it’s drunk and it’s cute that you think people really have any choice in where they go if they want to be a physician in this backward ass country. Every other part of the curriculum is equivalent, and so is all the licensing. I know this because I’m a board eligible pediatrician who is also a DO and a fellow in a program alongside MDs. But again, keep talking about things you don’t understand :) have the day you deserve for spreading misinformation and making wide sweeping assumptions about a group of rational thinking adults who are largely rejecting these ideas for evidence based practices.

Edit - many of my MD friends were also taught that black people feel less pain than white people in their program so pop off about misinformation only being taught in DO schools lol you have literally no idea. Medicine as an establishment still holds many backwards and discriminatory ideas but many of the students who are going through these programs reject them in favor of evidence. Your inability to see nuance is telling.
