Disappointed with a Doctor




I was studying at the Blacker-Wood library today, where for some reason there was a high amount of med students there studying, when I overheard something abrasive. This guy, who I have noticed before as having a very distasteful aura at various med student parties, was whispering to his friend in that way where he might as well been yelling this out. Here is what I heard:

"Man, I saw my patient today and she was the biggest SLUT. Oh yeah, she had three kids from three different guys! Oh man, she was such a slut."

I shot him a dirty look across my table, but apparently it didn't seem to affect him as he went on telling his friend how much of a "slut" this woman was. I guess I should partially excuse him since he has probably spent his whole life in school and still lives with his parents. McGill accepts people into their med school after only two years of post high school education. In other words, he's treating patients at the ripe age of 20.

How ignorant can you be? How much compassion could he have given to a woman who he immediately labeled as a "slut" without even knowing her history or situation. Please let this man become a surgeon so he only has to deal with patients while they're unconcious.

As a disclaimer, I respect most med students. I know that many of them are actually aware of the factors that can cause people to act in ways that are not ideal for their own well being and that of their offspring.

But this man pissed me off. Should I have said something? This man is going to be responsible for people's health one day!

The BIG BANG!!

The universe at the beginning of "The BIG BANG" was as small as 1/33 of a centimeter, after 1/33 second of expansion it acquired a size of one trillion centimeters . It went from an incredibly milliscule size to something more gigantic than we could ever conceive of.
