For some reason I didn't read a lot of Doctor Synthesis' replies - and now I remember why. I'm truly shocked bc you guys were genuinely trying to educate him, you, SouthernIM, DarknightX, Greenberg702, Dral, etc. and took the time to do so re: quality of Caribbean schools, DO schools, MD schools etc. and match outcomes. I think it's interesting that he uses very extreme scenarios to justify his beliefs and huge leaps in logic.DV, you went HAM up in this thread this morning.
Of course, when someone believes he can evaluate the quality of residency programs bc he shadowed at the hospital in question, vs. Residency PDs/Chairmen who've been doing this stuff for years if not decades and have to deal with the consequences (matching someone whom they're effectively stuck with) is galling.
It's one thing if you don't like the system - and no one here has ever said the system is absolutely perfect or clairvoyant. Premeds on SDN should know what the consequences are to choosing one type of school over another before taking the jump and shelling out six figures in non-dischargeable debt.
