"I think Caribbean grads should be treated the same as US grads because because of the primary care shortage. Also, despite the fact that ortho and urology are arguably the most competitive fields to match into no matter where you attend medical school, I should be allowed to do those anyway. Also, I'm a woman and women are underrepresented in ortho and urology , I should be allowed into these stupidly competitive fields based on my genitalia as well."

The whole article reads like she knows she's not going to be able to match something ridiculous that no one is ever really guaranteed no matter where you go but wants to blame extrinsic factors.

Dear OP, let them dream. It doesn't affect you. They might prove you wrong..,

If it is she is amazingly dedicated to it based on the other article.

typical entitled millenial. she must be feelin the bern.

 

[FourniersGreenGang]

The amount of incorrect information thrown about in that garbage is amazing, to say nothing about her entitled victim attitude that oozes off the page. And I say this as a woman who tried to get into ortho residency.

Yeah I almost died when I read about how USMLE scores shouldn't matter for women in trying to apply to ortho. I was like, wait that's just delusional, the fact is for any specialty, you need to meet at least some baseline step 1 score for that specialty, and as an FMG you'd better ace the thing. Even then...

More a former BA student who didn't plan for the future and has some narcissistic traits regarding her abilities as both a writer and clinician.

Unless that's what millenials are in a nutshell, in which case +1.

Honestly, I'd be more offended my school/hospital sold out to a carrib school and allowed students to rotate there possibly causing over-saturation. If they are aways'; please disregard.

Anyways, anyone know where you can buy a book on how to become a "wizard of the wards?" Asking for a friend who wants to match in Neurosurgery.

^^ There she talks about how PDs should give preference to women in orthopedic surgery residency programs

Yeeesh this may be even worse than her Carribean article. Let's break it down bit by bit:

1. "Though, I am little, I am fierce."

Literally couldn't make it one word without a mistake. Why on Earth is there a comma after "though"? UCLA, please rescind her English degree.

2. "No, I was the girl strutting air Nike’s"

Probably a lie, as anybody who actually strutted those shoes knows they would be called either "Nike Airs" or "Air Jordans", depending on which specific model she had, and not whatever "air Nike's" are. Shoutout to her for not capitalizing "air" and adding an incorrect apostrophe to "Nikes", though.

3. "women are intimidated to even apply to this field because of the misogynistic, stereotypically belief that women aren’t stronger than men."

Oh God, now we're really getting into the garbage. Notice that she doesn't claim that women are as strong as men, but that they are actually stronger. And if you don't believe that women are stronger than men, you're such a misogynist. LOL.

4. "Growing up in high school on the Track and Field team, I was the girl on the field, running with Jumpman Air Jordan’s"

Yet again, sounds like she's just making all this up. She was the girl on the field, yet she was running; events "on the field" are things such as shot put, discus, etc. where you are not running. Track is where you run. These may seem nitpicky, but really, this is not how someone who actually did these things would refer to it, especially in a "professional" article on a website as illustrious as Huffington Post.

5. "I put poor Rudy to shame in front of all of his friends and smoked him in the 400 meter race. I no longer ran the field with basketball shoes. This day, I proved that women are tougher, stronger, faster, quicker, and better than men."

Yes, a 400 meter race against Rudy definitively proved all that. I hope she doesn't become a practicing physician of any type, let alone an orthopedic surgeon. The critical reasoning skills she displays here suggest she would not provide the most ideal outcomes for her patients.

6. "I not only proved that women are stronger than men but that we as a species are equipped to be in the same ring and to play on the same field as men."

This reads like something from the personal statement of a student with a 2.0 GPA who doesn't get an interview anywhere legitimate. Which, you know, considering she's in the Caribbean, may be exactly correct.

7. "Today, only few women apply to Orthopedic Surgery residencies and the statistic is so low because they essentially fear not only a room full of men but a place where their bosses and peers are men as well, immensely leaving the contraindication of diversity."

Okay, either she's such a literary genius that my meager level of intelligence is insufficient to comprehend her majestic works, or she writes like a 7th grader throwing in words they found in a thesaurus and don't understand in a futile attempt to sound impressive. "Immensely leaving the contraindication of diversity"............what on Earth is that even supposed to mean? That's literally nonsense.

8. "What medical school you came from or USMLE Board Scores should not deter a woman from applying nor the concept that men are more capable in this field."

Ignoring the fact that, yes, low board scores at a Caribbean med school should definitely deter you from applying ortho, she should have written this as something like: "what medical school you came from or your USMLE board scores should not deter a woman from applying, and we should abolish the misconception that men are more capable in this field." As she currently has it written, it is, once again, illegible nonsense.


I know there are some Caribbean grads out there who are perfectly competent doctors. Some of them should get in touch with this Wizard of the Wards and let her know she's a terrible public face for them and that her attempts to bolster acceptance of Caribbean med schools are very successfully accomplishing the exact opposite.

Im a woman in ortho. I think. Actually now im just confused.

Annnnnnnd next there will be an article on how unfair match is and how people who didnt match the first time should be treated the same as those who did.

She may not do ortho or anything but she'll get FM, IM, Peds, or Psych in a shiesty area. She'll match eventually (if she decides to apply to such programs) and go on with life and occasionally get to do paid talks about the wonderful world of Caribbean schools and how supportive their school was and how she would do it all over again... her forced dialogue and lies will be very evident as she stands there in her JC-Penny pantsuit... legs nervously trembling as she struggles to fill her sentences with "ums" and "uhs" and "likes" while trying to explain the wonderful journey that was her Caribbean medical school. When she sits in her car at the end of the day, she'll slowly realize that she is selling dreams to hundreds of impressionable kids that came to listen to her speak and as she stares at herself in her BMW's vanity mirror, she'll slowly let a tear out, but not too many or else the expensive Mac product she applied earlier that day will smear. In a fit of emotional disgust and displeasure with where she is in life...she goes on a drunken rampage in the streets of Miami... and ends up assaulting an Uber driver and is recorded... and thus...

the cycle...

I bring up her case quite a bit on here but let's be real though for a sec... people make mistakes but the best thing we can do is LEARN from others' mistakes. She should have stayed her ass at home and turned up at the cribbo.... especially being so close to the finish line and hitting that attending level. It's whatever though.. she comes from a wealthy family that I'm sure will put her to use somehow, whether that involves getting her hired elsewhere or taking care of mommy and daddy's business assets while getting her married off to some other rich Indian doc who's probably just as crazy as her, if not more.

Life goes on.

I agree with you though. It doesn't matter how much money you have, how "smart' you are, what car you drive, what clothes you wear... how you treat other people when they can do absolutely nothing for you tells all. Some people ain't built for this life. It is what it is.
