    Yeah people think all doctors were straight A students thru med school. Ya’d never know if the one treating you right now was a C- muthafucka.

      Med school isn’t easy bro

      That C+ doctor retained more knowledge and has a better intuition that the chatGPT doctor

      I’ll take a Dr with enough real world experience to have good intuition over a recently graduated straight-A doc any day.

      But this is why doctors have like 8 years of practical, hands on experience with oversight before they’re allowed to actually practice solo in most places. They spend more time learning hands on, than they do in class.

      Even a straight-C “level” doctor should be more than prepared to handle whatever you their their way. Even if they don’t know, they probably know how to find out, or who to ask.

      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?

      Haven’t you heard that one ‘joke,’ what do you call the student that passed with the lowest grade in med school?..Doctor.
