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?
What if that straight A student from Johns Hopkins develops an opioid addiction and becomes an insufferable asshole but can still manages to oversee the Differential Diagnosis Department?
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.
You also need to realize school ratings does not always represent person’s intelligence. Some straight As have turned into nutcases who scream about autism injections
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.
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.

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?

Does he have a cane that I can kick out from under him when he acts afool?
hell yeah
I’m cured AND I get told to face my scary inner issues.
Med school isn’t easy bro
That C+ doctor retained more knowledge and has a better intuition that the chatGPT doctor

You also don’t know if the guy that got an A was cheating

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