Lived experience only counts once you are a ways into a residency.

People are afraid of AIs doing some doctoring, but maybe they are a lesser evil.

Academic Incompetents?

Those are AHes.

I have no problem with a guy getting into med school because of his skin color.

As long as that fact is printed on his license and displayed prominently in his office.

Our goal is NOT to winnow out the stupid and incompetent."

When he said that, did you avoid eye contact?
Did you raise your hand and ask what "winnow" means?
Or, maybe you jumped up and down, spinning around, laughing hysterically?

Wait. I was thinking of Phibes. . .

Had a friend who got his son into an IBEW apprentice program by claiming his son was part Native American. Now, there is some Indian blood in the family...the lad had high cheekbones and a tad darker complexion (being out in the sun will do that to you ).

But...The only time you really have to back that claim up, is if you are dealing in Federal dollars and they want proof. In that case, you have to have an ancestor on the tribal roles and you have to be at least 1/16.

Med school? I think you can make that one fly. If you get caught, pull a Warren and blame it on family lore.

There is no genetic or ancestral definition of "black", as far as I'm aware.
