VaporTrail Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Source: https://freebeacon.com/campus/a-failed-medical-school-how-racial-preferences-supposedly-outlawed-in-california-have-persisted-at-ucla/ Some whistleblowers from UCLA's medical school have leaked some test scores and how they've changed for the worse since hiring a dean of diversity who changed admissions criteria to allow for more black and brown people. Logic for this change being, as far as I can understand, that black doctors, even if less qualified than white or asian doctors, will provide better care to black patients, who have disproportionately worse health outcomes. Sounds like a poor thesis to me, but what do I know? At the end of each rotation, you have to take a subject test on it. Here, x-axis is divided by subject with subdivision by academic year, and further subdivided by what year in medical school it was taken, the first graph includes both preclinical and clinical years. You can see that in the year of the George Floyd riots, before most DEI changes were implemented, that graduating class had a <5% failure rate for all subjects (which was the historical norm). Post George Floyd riots, UCLA hired a DEI dean who discriminated against white and asian applicants, in part prompting the lawsuits which led to SCOTUS banning affirmative action for being racist. Anyway, after the dean's changes were implemented, you see a clear trend in the worsening of failure rates. Note that the y-axis is a percentage and it ranges from 0-100%. Now let's take a closer look at what happened in the two most recent classes of students This is over a 50% failure rate in some subjects. And finally, here is how the demographics of the student makeup have changed. How does this help make black patients safer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 sad - it seems that it is a political ploy, not a fairness or any kind of legit issue that drives the bs. https://redstate.com/streiff/2024/05/23/half-of-ucla-medical-school-graduates-cant-pass-basic-competency-tests-and-no-one-dares-question-it-n2174590 Half of UCLA Medical School Graduates Can't Pass Basic Competency Tests and No One Dares Question It Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 Maybe our resident race baiters can explain. DEI and everything associated with it is garbage and I doubt even they can defend it. That is systemic racism, and it has real consequences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEI and everything associated with it is garbage and I doubt even they can defend it. That is systemic racism, and it has real consequences. The actual article has some examples of attending physicians coming forward with situations they've experienced. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't going to result in deaths of future patients.

Jax Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 My family doctor is Indian and I love the guy. It might be years before I see him and he remembers things I don't. He takes what he does seriously but he also relates to me that I enjoy just brief conversations we have. He's getting ready to retire any day now I imagine but he'll still ask me about jogging and where I go and what shoes I like. I feel he really looks out for my well being the best he can and I trust his intelligence, not just because he remembers things but because I can follow along to what he's saying and I agree with it. I really hate the idea that some day soon I'll have to look for a new doc, and that's my point. I don't care what skin color they have, gender, I will hunt for someone I trust. People don't understand the phrase 'best qualified' isn't silent code for discrimination. It means exactly how it reads and nothing more.

And has given me countless resources to improve the quality of living and sends me to the best specialists in the business... Hes funny AF... His wife also works in the same capacity in the Internal Medicine department here in Mentor for UH. They are both top notch Dr's.. My dr was also an ENT surgeon which is a double blessing for me as I'm profoundly hearing impaired.. So I never have to wait 3 months to see an ENT specialist because he was an ENT specialist/surgeon in the UK.. And still has his license and credentials to do so.... I also have a staff of ENT specialists at my disposal.. Dr.Vito, Dr Mowry and ENT surgeon Dr. Semaan... I don't know where you live but if you're in the area... Id urge you to see him... Dr.Shreeniwas Lele is his name... Very nice man.. He knows his shit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's sad about this for the Indian doctors is that a lot of them are from lower castes and they face discrimination for it getting into medical school and from their peers if they manage to get through. See: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348356339_Casteism_Among_Indian_Doctors_A_Critical_Review These people immigrate here legally, then have to go through the rigor of medical school/American residency, just to be looked at as an equal to their peers. Now, because of DEI, they get discriminated against again, because... their ethnicity is too intelligent? It's asinine, ass backwards, and racist. And these DEI zealots are trying to gaslight you into thinking it's the morally correct action. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing from doctors etc that so many are retiring, it's tough on patients. Our Dr was outstanding, but she finally retired. I have an appt to see a new DR who is very highly rated. It's in April of next year...... If your Dr. is going to retire, plan ahead bigly. Health care has been damaged by "obaMaocare", dei, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see some of it, not nearly this bad, when I was there about a decade ago. Not surprised at all how it's progressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
