Pre-allo is a cesspit of toxicity, judgment, trolling, and ignorance. The whole subforum is an embarrassment to the medical profession and gives doctors a bad name.
Every single time I have gone into pre-Allo, I've seen countless posts made by people who make me think "I hope to God this person never becomes a physician."
When a premed asks, without a hint of irony, if "you can ever trust a primary care doc because they probably were definitely too stupid for ortho" I want to gouge my f*cking eyes out. ditto for "you can't trust docs from UC Irvine because it used to be a DO school," and "why can't we just refuse treatment to anyone who's ever used recreational drugs?" I swear to god one of these days I'm gonna see a thread on there about hunting nursing students for sport.
Allopathic isn't perfect but it is an enormous step-up. Welcome, it's better here.
