For those that are in your second year or beyond, I assume you have developed a decent understanding of what your classmates are like. Based on that, would you trust them as your doctor? Would you trust them to be the one that delivers your baby? Would you trust them to do neurosurgery on you?
**This is irrespective of their performance in medical school, because we all know that performance in preclinicals/clinicals does not translate into your aptitude as a doctor. Eventually all of us will have to pass boards, so all of us will have the knowledge and ability. I'm asking this from your own personal opinion.
In my opinion, some of my classmates are absolutely brilliant and personable, and I would definitely trust them as my doctor. But there are others that I would not want near me at all.
