@MaxJordan_N once we can quantify and rank social traits ill agree with you

Thinking your high scores and GPAs entitles you to a spot in medical school is probably why you “barely” made it in. Beyond a certain threshold no one “deserves” to go to med school more than the next. So much more matters in an applicant. Many “smart” ppl show antisocial traits.

@vvictorman_uel this is actually a law that requires your results to be released immediately. 21st century cures act

got one of those test results on mychart that should’ve been a phone call and yikes

@Arktheos @SolBrah denying this tech is denying white excellence

@hernansTopGuy @SolBrah npc

While alarming that such equipment is t taken care of - there is no such thing as “HIV” to catch, so I wouldn’t worry too much if I were him Just like all viruses (solvents produced by the body) none have been shown to be transmissible or to be the cause of disease

@Arktheos @SolBrah dawg we use viruses to deliver gene therapy

@SolBrah u should just stop at "none have been shown" as in no virus has ever been observed or isolated

@styxseason @FrenlyOfficer yea NP referring patients already sucks bc they don’t do a work up at all. please see “docs don’t want to see patients that haven’t been vetted for a real problem”. it will probably take many years of pain to increase salaries. i know people that don’t see NP referrals lol

@hernansTopGuy @FrenlyOfficer They’ll just establish more clinics staffed by nurse practitioners. Doctors don’t have a monopoly on referrals.

We should leave those spots empty until they raise their salaries and improve working conditions to appeal to Americans. we should also let the numbers of physicians in those specialties dwindle until salaries rise

@styxseason @FrenlyOfficer no it still works that way. hospitals will have no one doing primary care to be able to refer to more lucrative procedural specialities, those docs do not want to see patients that haven’t been vetted for a real problem. hospitals then have to pay PCP a lot to open the funnel

@FrenlyOfficer That might work in a free market. Hospitals could charge more for ER services and primary care and turn away unprofitable customers. But this is not a free market, this is th American healthcare system.

@MaryBowdenMD @SeeFisch he runs an IMG factory residency

@SeeFisch No idea who you are or why you’re talking to me like I’m your child, but glad to see I touched a nerve.

Stop whining

@TeedRimmerPhD @AFHoot candy t shirt would be a hard find in about 20 years in a thrift store ngl

@AFHoot I'm def either copping this or the Candy t shirt

Bro: I’m hiding my power level trust Bro’s shirt:

@oatsdoc @Worththefight47 no we want white people in those positions

@Worththefight47 While I do consider myself middle/left, you are absolutely projecting your own biases with your comment. By and large, the right has repeatedly condemned DEI and stated they want “the most highly skilled” candidate in coveted positions, no?

The absolute BEST part of my residency education came from my colleagues whose backgrounds, beliefs, and (often) country of origin were different than my own. I thought the right wanted the best of the best to be in coveted positions?

@fuqekgs american medical education is for americans. the same as any manufacturing industry: it must be protected against foreign interlopers and undercutters

OK I'll bite: what's so wrong with having foreign medical students???? What if their application and interview are so fucking good they are better than the rest of the applicants???? We want the best, why is it hard to believe that THEY are the best for that program??????????

@FrenlyOfficer yea it does but not large metro areas

@hernansTopGuy This exists in some parts of the country

We should let those positions go unfilled until salaries rise

@sdixitmd >indian voraciously defends his coethnics

Match rates for US grads between the NRMP and SOAP is 97%. That hasn’t vacillated in years. Match rates for US citizen IMGs is 65%. (They account for more than one-fourth of all IMg applicants - bet he didn’t know that.) Match rates for non US citizen IMGs is below 50%. It really is something to see public officials not do any basic due diligence.

@JBlunt1018 it’s actually not good that family medicine residencies and nearly half of IM residences are being filled by foreigners. these people will work for less money than an american and pay for primary care will continue to be abysmal, feeding the cycle of avoidance for US students

NOT AGAIN — Over the past decade, the U.S. has steadily increased the number of residency positions, reaching 43,237 total positions in 2025, the highest ever. Yet even with that growth, the system still struggles to fully align supply with demand. Every year, 93–94% of U.S. MD seniors match, and over 92% of DO seniors match, meaning the vast majority of U.S. graduates secure positions. At the same time, nearly 10,000 international medical graduates (IMGs) matched into U.S. residency programs in 2025, filling critical gaps in the system. Even after the main match, 2,500+ residency positions remained unfilled and had to be offered through SOAP, a process specifically designed to fill vacancies that U.S. grads did not take. IMGs are not “taking” spots at scale, they face much lower match rates (≈58–68%) compared to U.S. graduates, meaning they are competing for and often filling the positions others leave behind. The facts remain — U.S. grads overwhelmingly match at high rates — Certain specialties and locations remain undesirable — And thousands of positions would go unfilled without IMGs Without international doctors, entire parts of the U.S. healthcare system, especially rural and primary care, would be understaffed. How did we end up wanting to blow up everything that adds value to America?

@theshy08746434 @ThomBrady5 this is the united states of america

@hernansTopGuy @ThomBrady5 why?

a total joke to pretend you are defending a meritocratic status quo

@theshy08746434 @ThomBrady5 as they should

@ThomBrady5 Asians have it so much harder in this country

@txmedai @pitdesi @jgebbia >american grads don’t want to do family medicine because the pay sucks >let in thousands of foreigners who would work for pennies on the dollar to escape third world and give them family medicine spots >pay never rises for FM and americans don’t want it >let in more foreigners

@pitdesi @jgebbia Yeah mostly correct. Almost all unmatched US grads could match (and indeed there’s a scramble and SOAP process where some of those unmatched spots will be taken by these disappointed unmatched grads) if they wanted to do internal medicine of family medicine

@AhmadRehanKhan hey r*tard the vast majority of radiology positions are PGY2. there were like 1000 spots mostly filled by USMD

@BadreNicolas there’s definitely a large difference between 3 years of antipsychotics without being seen by a doctor and chilling out the combative dementia patient that can’t be reasoned with. other people are in danger

For context, people should revisit the landmark case of Clites v. Iowa (1982). Timothy Clites, an 18-year-old with developmental delays, was committed to a state hospital. There, he was prescribed antipsychotics specifically to manage behavioral disturbances stemming from his developmental delay, rather than for psychosis. His medical care was particularly poor, exemplified by the fact that he was not seen by a physician for three entire years. After Clites developed severe and permanent side effects from the antipsychotics (tardive dyskinesia), his father sued the state. The court ultimately found that the hospital failed to meet the standard of care because it used the medications not for the patient’s benefit, but for institutional convenience.

@Chicago_Daisy @BadreNicolas >she’s never been called to the combative delirious dementia patient at 3am

@BadreNicolas Chemical restraint should never be used
