But that book is not about outcomes per se, but making the case that America is the best in terms of the quality of care and access to care. It can't really claim that our infant mortality rate is the best in the world because it is not. To paraphrase Dr. Atlas, "Where would you rather be when you are pregnant?"
Fair enough. His writing doesn't appear to have made too terribly big a splash in the public sphere but I'll bet I've used some of his radiology material lol
I mean, aren't we having a chat now?
Cool. Too bad I'm not applying to DO schools any time soon since I'm already in an MD school
I hope that you will show more kindness and consideration to your patients than you've shown here.
FYI, LizzyM is an Adcom member at an MD school located in the stratosphere. I'm the Adcom at the DO school.
And we've gone full Burnett's law. Well done, everybody.
No sir.
First of all, I never made any of the claims that you so preposterously are trying to cram into my mouth.
I have said nothing about his potential effectiveness as a doctor. I have met many doctors that were cold, impersonal, and in it for the status/money. I just wouldn't want to have a loved one taken care of by a health care professional that exhibited those attitudes. As I've said above, everyone is their own person. I just like to think that the world is moving in a positive direction and perhaps that is naive.
What claims am I trying to shove into your mouth?
Lol at you being unable to come up with an answer to my argument
im so confused! Lol
How could I make it more simple for someone like you to understand?
Uhm, got any graphs?
What argument? Also, doesn't there have to be a life for it to be inherently valuable? This is not equatable to producing life. Could you please give us info on what morals you think society should be measured by?
Sure:
Your pretend Venn Diagram is unimpressive
It's a real Venn Diagram, it's just what happens when there's nothing to fill the circles
Are you trying to get your second thread of the week closed? This one will probably be accompanied by the ban hammer.
Yeah why not just ban people that you don't agree with? I bet you would like Donald Trump
Please, before the thread is closed...
Ok you're right, my bad. I should've said "half-Burnett's"
I don't have the authority to ban anyone. As for our Cheeto-in-Chief...the ONLY thing about him I would like is I would like for him to be out of office ASAP!
Oh, our Orange Orangutan in Chief would be banned as a troll in a New York Minute!
How close they get to implementing Sharia Law
Start with the Arrow paper if you're seriousWhich you never actually did
Socialist policies lead to overpopulation. Look at ghetto communities in America. Lots of girls get pregnant just so they can get handouts for being single mothers. More kids = more money, which is why poor people tend to have more kids.
I wonder why you didn't get accepted to medical school.. listen, not everybody can grow up privileged like you. I hope for your sake, you never have to struggle. You wouldn't last in the shoes of the typical "poor" American.. you sir here typing away saying that health care is essentially a privilege, not a right, but I guarantee you've never had to live without health insurance for an extended amount of time. Honestly, best of luck to you. Hopefully you can find that maturity that was lacking in your personal statement and work on your EC's - maybe get a brand new attitude in the process too.
IDK where this myth that I didn't get accepted into med school is coming from. If you're gonna ad hominem at least do it right
Yup, totally sound logic, can't think of any other reasons. What's that? Availability of birth control, and education about its use, and abortive services access drops the rate? Nah that can't be right, it's def all intentional because they want money.
Probably the part where you posted about needing to rewrite your personal statement for when you reapply...
I've spent a significant amount of time (about a year) in one such community. You can argue that it was an attitude unique to this particular community, but I doubt it.
This account is used by a few people, not just me
Amazing...that's the exact same thing everyone says here on SDN when caught in a lie.
Ah, ok. Good to know. Thank you.
As convincing as your anecdote is, I'm gonna stick to the population level studies
