Ok, I am not sure if I should be scared about this or not, so please give me your input.
Although the letter is supposed to be confidential, my LOR writer was kind enough to let me read it once it's submitted. So, he had something written in there which **could** work against me. Here's a synopsis (not word for word):
In my years of working with Tweetie, I have seen that she has one weakness in that she is perhaps a bit idealistic about medicine. With the onset of HMOs and other blah blah blah, I hope she will not be disheartened with what she may eventually see in the field. My best guess is, that she will survive the storms as she has in the past in our lab. If anything, her love of medicine and idealistic ideas will only serve as an inspiration for those who become disillusioned by the current situation in medicine.
I am GLAD he was honest, but I just don't know how the AD COMS will see this. Well, what he said sounded much better than that, but this is the gist. I am surprized he said I am too idealistic, considering. . oh well. What I am wondering is, how much will this hurt me, if at all?
Thanks much for any input.
