(not everyone who disagrees with you "doesn't get it." i understand what you were trying to say.)
OP, the moral of the story is... in the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
And word of advice to OP:
If you're uncomfortable with the people who are currently at a point where you are trying to be eventually exerting power over you, pick a new career.
Attendings >> Residents and Fellows
Fellows >> Residents
Residents >> 3rd and 4th Years
3rd and 4th Years >> 1st and 2nd Years
1st years >> Pre-Meds
It happens and it will continue to happen until you are done with your school and job training.

I personally choose to accept this as valuable learning that I can receive from those who are more experienced, instead of complaining about it. It's not SDN hierarchy, it's the real world hierarchy. Medicine is a hierarchical career, as is law, business, academia. Sorry it's so hard for you.
Me said:The people who get it get it, and the people who don't don't.
Is anyone else confused about this anymore? Does anyone else believe that this was a personal vendetta for me? Hopefully, things are clear, but if not, well, like I said...
I simply say that med students have a good role on this forum, but for the most part, the level of authority that comes with getting a signed piece of paper that you successfully completed pre-med is generally not enough to go on a power-trip about.
Premeds are a bunch of prima donnas. I was a prima donna too before getting into medical school. A thousand hours of studying later, and I was definitely humbled.
