Yes, and that means even the worst students can get coached to pass. ANYONE can be coached to pass.

Duke Health Abandons Merit For DEI When PICKING SURGEONS

Mar 1, 2024 - Please don't take this attitude. It is not that doctor's fault that they were chosen over other doctors, and they
still had to go to medical school and get training in their specialty. There is no indication that these providers are not
qualified to be doctors.

Mar 2, 2025 - If I have a black female surgeon, my first assumption will be this person had to meet lower standards because the
school or the certifying board was so anxious to say we have a black female surgeon and of course it's unfair to the individual but
then the whole system is unfair. So should you be shocked that it produces unfair results? No.

These schools, KNOWN FOR THEIR LOWER STANDARDS, are the kinds of institutions that LCME was founded in 1942 to police and prevent.
Patients of such doctors tend to have higher mortality rates than those of physicians who attended medical school in the United
States. Without the constraints imposed by LCME, more qualified doctors would be available.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
