DO schools that don't do malicious "pimping"?

Searched threads and found nothing, so here goes.

I've been hearing about "pimping" so I decided to look it up. Apparently it can take a variety of forms, on a spectrum as it were, ranging from being asked a bunch of questions by a more experienced doctor who actually cares about your education and won't do anything worse than tell you "look that up and give me an X-minute presentation about it tomorrow" when you miss a question, all the way to the doctor mocking you for your incorrect answer.

I'd be fine with the first condition and I would fight back against the second. I'm an entertainer, so I know how to handle a heckler. But, I'd rather just experience the former condition. I'm also a teacher and I've done that to some of my students, in the name of strengthening their knowledge. It does work, but the mockery and humiliation are not necessary for it to work.

So I want to know, from any of y'all who have been through medical school at least far enough to be able to answer this question from experience - what are some DO schools where the "pimping", if any, never ends in mockery of the student?

I posted this thread in the MD school forum as well, to see if there is a difference in the answers.

I'm pretty sure we're all going to encounter plenty of dickish behavior no matter where we go. It's probably better to worry about getting into medical school first.

Perhaps, but I fail to see why someone would work to get into medical school (even if that's just preparing applications, taking the MCAT, paying application fees, etc.) if he/she knows beforehand that he/she won't tolerate some aspect of it. It all comes down to whether or not this is the way of it at all medical schools, or just some.
