It is a defense when people are saying she should be given a lighter punishment or they’re having a change of heart just because the media shed a light on it and they feel it’s getting more attention than it should be. What does attention being on it have to do with her actions or words and it being unacceptable as a future physician?
Agreed. I just don’t see why Fox News blasting her is grounds for a softer view point towards her.
But nobody is saying that.
Yes, it is being said. Literally giving her sympathy because of a media outlet blasting her for something she did. 😐
Weirdly enough, my criticism of the student actually hardened even more even as I recognize the problems and biased reporting of Fox News
I read this as she's almost certainly getting a lot of hate mail because of the national coverage of this which is a punishment in itself.
I just ignored fox entirely once I saw how they were clownin. These media outlets do the most 😂🙄
I still think it’s a problem though basically entirely on the student end since she pretty much destroyed her own reputation and credibility when treating anyone who has views differing from her own. Fox News basically amplified that dramatically
I can see that now that you’ve said it. However I still don’t think it should have a bearing on her being allowed to continue on in medical school or a residency. This situation is entirely on her. No one told her to brag on social media to appear morally superior.
Same. I really feel like the school dropped the ball on this one. Instead of actually addressing the root problem they tried to shift blame and then blocked social interactions on their pages so people couldn’t comment. Not a good look as a school charged with educating physicians. If I was an applicant they would be off my list of schools for consideration.
Probably not for privacy reasons (and don’t want you to get in trouble). But this is depressing
Yeah I meant how @VA Hopeful Dr meant.
That’s honestly really interesting. A lot of other students I’ve spoken to about this were mainly concerned with medical ethics when they heard of this situation.
Oh geez that school has very serious problems but frustrating that the student body is aligned closely with administration.
I’m now wondering whether the school and students defending that malicious student will now crackdown on whistleblowers and deflect the blame on Fox News for biased reporting. Leaking to all mainstream media (especially the Wall Street Journal and New York Times which are crucial here) will be of best bet
There’s some serious weird energy going on at that school…
People will generally focus on their own self interest. All the wake students worried about this affecting their match are absolutely right - I think it might. I certainly have a lower opinion of the school than I did a few weeks ago and all things being equal I would interview a student from another school if given the choice.
1.) Fox News has chosen to make this girl national news for one tweet and they misreported the actual facts in their featured article about it. I think that’s ridiculous. This is America. This shouldn’t be happening.
???
Fox has definitely taken the easy unnuanced approach to this issue. Though in the court of public opinion, the burden of proof in this case seems to fall on the student to prove she did not do it intentionally. It may not be fair, but then again she’s the one who chose to post in the first place. And her post does leave it open to interpretation whether or not it was intentional. Kind of a perfect storm really in that it traps Wake into trying to be fair and nuanced because they see it as likely not intentional and more of a social media use issue.
100s of examples! Where do you go? Wake Forest?
Well, you probably get down into the single digits if you subtract out the tweets of Eugene Gu.
This is not what the girl did. She likely did not stick a patient a second time out of malice. At least there is no evidence of that.
thank you for speaking some common sense. my faith in this profession has been somewhat restored.
You mean Woke Forest? Lol. Can’t believe no one has made that a thing yet.
It’s difficult to separate from politics. I think some are upset that that cancel culture is not applied equally across the political spectrum and I think they have a valid point. For that, they’re willing to condemn the girl to expulsion to restore some fairness.
Or she deserves to be expelled for what she did, and if she is not, its is further evidence that cancel culture is not applied equally. Thus fueling the culture war. Furthering distrust in the medical community, and adding to the evidence universities are liberal echo chambers (from the perspective of the right).
it really isn't that deep.
That's the way you interpret it.
Judging by the tweet, I’m sure she’s joined in many cancel mobs before for probably much less.
I mean race is extremely subjective as well lol. I have a feeling that you're not in medicine at all.
I think Fox and the right have wisely identified the far left as a key wedge issue here. Kychelle’s tweet signifies what drives so many crazy: that the left insists on 100% compliance. It’s not enough to simply call people what they want to be called; if you don’t toe the line all the way to saying men have periods too, then you’re simply a transphobe who is committing violence and not worthy of ethical treatment.
Lots of impressive mental gymnastics, but still doesn't excuse her actions.
You have found more problems with the article than with the content of the med student's tweet. I know, you will say that you don't stand for what she said, but your posts certainly feel that you are trying to distract from what this is all about. But hey, it's your opinion.
