To be fair, just passing med school, even by the slimmest margins, is no easy feat. The idea that a doctor who got D- grades is somehow bad is wrong because they're still good enough to pass an extremely difficult program.
Yeah, I'd be more comfortable with an A+ doctor, but a doctor still graduated from med school, you know?
If you could pick between two doctors, one A student and one D student, you know you'd pick the A student.
But what if the A student was from some sketchy barely accredited medical school and the D student was from Johns Hopkins.
Who do you pick now?
What if that straight A student from Johns Hopkins develops an opioid addiction and becomes an insufferable asshole but can still manages to oversee the Differential Diagnosis Department?
Does he have a cane that I can kick out from under him when he acts afool?
hell yeah
I'm cured AND I get told to face my scary inner issues.
