TAP:
You once again give NO evidence to support your statement. You tutor a couple of future docs (most likely in premed classes or the MCAT preparation) and that gives you a knowledge base to damn a whole profession’s training system? I probably know a little more about standard deviation than you do as I am a REAL doctor and before that a REAL scientist. The only one with his head up his ass is you. Go back to school wannabe.

Take off your shoes and socks so you can count above 10, learn what standard deviation is and correlate the data for yourself, I dont have to prove anything to you ,I was just try to help in reporting what I found, so pull you malpractice ridden head out of your ass and open your eyes, I outta here

Usually I just peruse these pages but reading these posts,I am ashamed to count you among my peers.But I suspect it is perhaps the same person trying to appear as many, so perhaps there is yet hope.

Cliche? You mean worthless babble on your part correct?
Now where is that peer-reviewed evidence to back up your assertation TAP? I am still waiting. I guess you are just pulling numbers out of your a$$ wannabe.

" "C" students are commonly admitted and graduated from medical school these days with a "C" average and have been for over a decade and if you track the rise in malpractice suits and correlate it with these goals practices, youll find a positive correlation."

Please do give peer-reviewed evidence to back up your assertion....we are waiting.

"as to asking my friends i have a couple with whom i have discussed this with and they are of a like mind as to the real cause of these rate hikes, the other ones that i know are the ones i helped credential back in the 90's by writing papers and tutoring directly towards the tests they were to take, if i knew then what i knew now there would be rather more than a couple less of these incompetents out there,i lament this and now having been treated by others of this ilk now pay for my sins with poorly done procedures and treatments that will signifigantly affect the remainder of my life so i am paid in full and thank you for your civil and informed reply anon"

Yeah TAP your exam tutoring resulted in these guy's being MD's. Your exam tutoring gives you the right to judge medical students based on preparation for exams before residency. Please get over yourself. I have a little secret for you. Most of us learned how to be docs in RESIDENCY not medical school. Medical school gives you the tools only. You stike me as a frustrated wannabe bitter about those who went on. Don't get me wrong I have all the respect for scientists (in fact I was a research scientist for a decade before switching to medicine). I just have no time for embittered wannabe's. Stup up to the plate pal or shut up, you sound like a whiney little child.

“maybe if you’d been on the stick when she was brought in she’d be alive and you wouldnt be in it up to your neck”

Ah, a retrospecovist. Maybe if the judge who sentenced her for drug possession the last time she was busted had kept her in jail, she wouldn’t have been out in the street buying crack cocaine, so she would have survived by not using Crack. We don’t admit patients to the hospital to try to keep them off the crack pipe. You cannot force someone to not use drugs, and you cannot blame a doctor for a patients drug use (I mean you shouldnn’t be allowed to, in America you can blame physicians for any bad outcome.

ah a goals doctor, thought so;demanding patients?you mean patients who could expose your level of competance if they asked you a pertinent question?or do they just make you feel superior?who wrote your papers and held your hand thru testing and boards?MD’s of the ilk you appear to be are the ones who are the ruination of the ones who deserve their degrees and licenses and maybe if you’d been on the stick when she was brought in she’d be alive and you wouldnt be in it up to your neck

I work in a low end facility because I like the patients more, I wouldn’t want to deal with demanding shitheads like you. What the hell does the Hippocratic oath have to do with the fact that i’m being unjustly sued for a patient I never even saw? BTW, the oath is optional and not even taken by all doctors. Besides, Hippocrates didn’t have to deal with the anal rape occurring in courts across the country, this has changed the rules of the game immensely. It’s us against them, too bad, I didn’t make the rules, I just try to survive despite them
