Desperate Housewives remark about Filipino doctors

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

The best doctor I've ever had was educated in Korea. Some of the worst were from big-name American schools.

All I know is that in my family, it is mandatory that one visits a doctor that has been to a reputable medical school. I guess I can see how that would be considered discriminatory.

In your family it's mandatory? hehehe What do you mean? And again, "reputable".... any school that is accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education is reputable.

Yes, mandatory.

First thing my mother asks if I go to see a doctor is where they went to school. If I said Carol Davida University, boy would I get an earful - no joke! Reputable would have to be from this list: http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandrevi...prank_brief.php

Ahh, I see.... well, I tend not to make too much of those kind of listings. With alomst 150 medical schools in the US, I know that the students who go to schools listed toward the bottom of the list take the same exams as the people at the top of the list. I guess I have to go to a doctor first before I can make a judgement. They could have gone to Harvard Medical School but if they have no bedside manner whatsoever and I don't feel comfortable with them....well all of their Harvard education is wasted in my eyes. *shrug* Everyone has to do what makes them feel comfortable though and if seeing your doctor come from a school at the top of the list makes you feel better, then that's what you have to do....

What makes me feel better is whatever keeps my mother off my back...lololol.

Not to pick on your mom, Jenn, but if your doctor is over 30, chances are the rankings have changed since then.

Well, I don't think she actually looks at the list, just joking about that. It just has to be Harvard, Tufts, Duke, etc. something she's heard of. Not saying it's rational, but to her it's "just common sense", and if I don't agree that means I have none.

Yes, as a matter of fact I see a DO now. I had an MD in the same HMO and I didn't like her as much as the DO I see now.

cool.... 3 of the top 20 schools are in NC!!

Maybe that's why people here fight over wooden legs!

Jenn, your mom needs to revise her list. Duke is only ranked #34 now.
