OK kids, cut OP some slack. What he's trying to say is that book smart does not always translate into common sense. Just because one is intelligent, it doesn't mean one is smart.
Play nice!
I have no idea how you translate, "As you all know, a physician also needs to be kind, caring and follow a strict code of honor and professionalism.
This third year ex med student (she has been kicked out of UCLA med school) probably had high MCAT scores, high GPA, excellent ECs etc. but to what end? She is now just a common lying thief who will never be a physician." into "book smart does not always translate into common sense." Maybe you are better able to interpret the OP, but after reading it a couple of times, I certainly agree with your statement, but I don't think it has anything to do with the OP.
Wouldn't you say that someone would have to be pretty "book smart" to be accepted to a top ranked medical school like UCLA medical school? Ms. Nguyen was obviously quite book smart (among other qualities she possessed) otherwise she wouldn't have been honored with an acceptance by the medical school admissions committee. She was also academically capable enough to pass her first 2 years of medical school. Yet her academic performance was obviously not enough for her to be a good physician since she had some troubling personality attributes which led to her stealing from a dying cancer patient and then lying that she thought the ipad was her own.
Regardless, I respect your right to disagree with me and I respect your opinion and no, I'm not going to call your opinion silly.
This isn't about an opinion. I was pointing out that your OP was logically unsound. Just because two statements are true. ie.
#1 This student was probably academically pretty decent.
#2 Stealing will get you kicked out of medical school.
Doesn't mean that they can or should be somehow connected.
