So this last week we had a sit down meeting with our Vice Dean of Student Affairs (I think) and the 1st and 2nd year medical school classes. All in all this was 300+ students in attendance. Apparently there has been some scandalous activity going on unbeknownst to me. It ranges from racial slurs in study documents to dropping F-bombs in faculty reviews to graffiti on school property that only students had access to. I couldn't believe this stuff when I heard it. In fact some of it just made me laugh it was so ridiculous. I cannot believe that students preparing to be physicians are engaged in these kinds of activities. Then again is it that surprising? Most of these kids have never had a real job, are fresh out of college, live off mommy and daddy's riches and feel entitled to anything and everything. I know this is the case after hearing some of the demands the first year class made no less than 3 weeks after arriving. I guess these idiots will end up hanging themselves out to dry sooner or later, but it really peeves me that they will also be representing the school that I chose to gain my medical education. Thanks a lot retards!!!
We as students are an important part of this whole educational machine and in a large way the only reason any of this exists. At the same time we need to realize that the position we have been GIVEN is a courtesy that can be rescinded and given to the next deserving individual. There are plenty of people waiting in the wings that would be happy to take our spot in the line. This isn't brain surgery.....yet.
