    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

        Eh. I think it’s hard to say. These days I think we can be expected to learn so much more than previous generations depending on the field. My psych undergrad emphasized a lot of neurobiology and other hard sciences with the humanities. I use chat to supplement recreational study on top of that, prompting for academic studies, etc., plus following experts around social media. I also saved as much material as I could between textbooks and other resources.

      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?
