You know, Gwendolyn, I've had it up to here w/ your list above from Penn, why "Oh Suck 'Em" is the best med school on the planet, why anyone who doesn't go into EM is dumb, why D.O.s are better than M.D.s, etc. etc.
Your link above SUCKS b/c it compares all DIFFERENT entering classes. I know you know everything, but I also know that you have never been on an admissions committee for your D.O. school. Well, I've was on my school's ad comm for the better part of two years and you know what? There is variability of scores between entering classes! Can you believe that?? I'm not a statistician (I'm sure you learned all about stats in paramedic school), but if you mess with means and standard deviations and the like, I'm sure you will see that with the exception of a couple outliers (meaning particular entering classes for a particular year for a certain school), it's all pretty close numbers wise. And that only makes sense. So OSU-COM has the highest GPA and the near highest MCAT (for the 2002 entering class ONLY) on your precious list....whooptie f*ckin doo!!
OSU-COM may be a decently established D.O. school....so what? So is mine....so is a lot of peoples! I respect your school pride, but realize your school had faults just like other schools. Don't believe me? Well your school/teaching facility CERTAINLY has PLENTY of f*ck-ups that I deal with on almost a weekly basis at OU. That's not rhetoric bullsh*t, that's the truth! And as far as your fascination about OSU-COM being the best med school in the state, think again. Both schools have advantages and disadvantages over each other, just like most other states that have both state-funded D.O. and M.D. schools. You talk all the time about your 100% pass rate for boards at OSU-COM. So what? What are your mean/median scores for COMLEX and USMLE? It's real easy to get a 401 on step I. It's not so easy to break 600. Get my drift? I would bet my left nut there are a bunch of D.O. schools out there like TCOM or KCOM that have much HIGHER mean COMLEX scores. What I have just said goes double for your praise of a 100% pass rate on USMLE I. What about match lists for OSU vs. OU? How about last years match? How many Dermatologists did OSU match? How about Plastic Surgery? How about Urology? How about Neurosurgery? How about all the other residency matches? How did OSU do? What about WHERE they matched also? The majority of OU students matched at institutions OTHER THAN their own. Can OSU say that? Remember, these questions are all relatively good or bad, depending on who you are and what you want out of life. So blanket statements like "my school is better than yours" just don't fly around here. And at least if you're gonna say stupid **** like that, have the stats to back it up. Really!
And the whole EM thing.....dude, what the hell is wrong with you? Again, its a profession w/ both advantages and disadvantages. IMO, being a glorified triage nurse does not intellectually stimulate me enough to outweigh the lifestyle benefits of EM. That's my opinion, as well as hundreds of thousands of other physicians. Just a bunch of dumb-f*cks, aren't we?
You are pathetic and absurd, OSUdoc. It embarasses me to no end that our profession includes clowns like yourself. What's really sad is that some day people are gonna roll thru the ED doors in need of serious help and they are gonna have to face you, in all of your arrogance, apathy, and stupidity. And then that person or a family member will see that big 'ol "D.O." after your name, resulting in more opression and subjecting more bullsh*t to myself and the other caring, compassionate, and intelligent D.O.s out there. That also does your school some serious injustice, b/c they put out more docs like that as opposed to degenerates like you.
I am ashamed at myself that I have managed to stoop to your level, OSUdoc. Sometimes purging yourself is a healthy thing. And believe me when I tell you that I am NOT the only one who feels this way. From SDN, OSU, etc. etc. I will never engage you again....so you'll have to manage w/o my commentary
. Unfortunately, SDN will have to deal with yours for a long time to come. Do SDN and the world a favor and seek a mental health professional. You seriously need to address your narcissistic personality d/o. Oh yeah, and for future reference, if you ever have anything to say to me - ITS DOCTOR TO YOU!!
Sincerely,
Feelgood, D.O.
P.S. - To DrMom and any other moderator, I am a man of promise. I will NEVER insult or respond to OSUdoc ever again. So no need to send me a threatening PM or what have you.
