Thoughts on the relation between medicine and social justice?

Hi All,

I'm running a survey on the perceived role of medical students in the face of social injustices and how medical school structures and curricula affect said perception. Here's a link to the quick google form, please fill it out if you're either in medical school or a recent graduate. I want to avoid selection bias, so I'd really love input for everyone, including those not particularly interested in social justice.
Thank you.

Bunch of losers circle jerking without getting anything tangible done. This fits in well with medical students who perceive themselves to be the pinnacle of mankind's achievements all the while never realizing that they aren't really doing anything while on the wards either.

edit: I read some of your ridiculously leading questions and noticed your lack of disagreeing answer choices. Won't be roped into this jerk sesh. Not today.

I want to add a small amount of CONSTRUCTIVE criticism here. If this survey is to serve any purpose other than self curiosity, then it is very flawed and set up in such a way as to receive forced biased answers. Furthermore, doctors are many things, but socials workers and pity warriors we are not. Some of your questions imply that maybe physicians should be the frontline defense to social injustices and disparities in our nation. You can obtain more reliable information by performing a gross analysis of other studies and making a summary with the information you are seeking to write about. Social injustice is not as much a part of medicine as you may believe. In medicine, if you are a true believer in the healing power and the morals of the Hippocratic oath, then social injustice should be unfound. However, in an imperfect world that is surely not the case, but one would imagine it is kept at a minimum, at least.

The term "social justice" makes me sick. Same with "trigger warning", "cis-gender", and "income inequality." The current youth are either very stupid or very bored.

Stupid, bored, and brainwashed

The term "social justice" comes from Catholic theology and has been around since the 1800s, so it's not really a "current youth" thing.

Except that it's been commandeered by the stupid, bored, brainwashed youth. So it definitely is a current youth thing.

If you want to get into studying sociology you should probaby get some training in survey design. This is pretty flawed if the aim is unbiased data

Connotation vs denotation, bro. We move fast but try and keep up.

Forget formal analysis. OP's questions don't even make logical sense.

glad I was not the only one who felt like they were manhandled into supporting the "social justice" movement by that survey.

Hi All,
... perceived role of medical students in the face of social injustices and how medical school ... either in medical school or a recent graduate. I want to avoid selection bias...

So you're looking to make an inference on the role of all medical students and recent medical school graduates, and one of your goals is to avoid selection bias, yet you decided to introduce massive sampling bias by asking a subset of the internet to respond to your survey. A researcher in the making...

This survey is terrible and you should feel terrible.


Lawyer: Mr Griffin, which of the following two phrases best describes Brian Griffin: Problem Drinker or African-American Haberdasher?
Peter: Uh, do I-I guess problem drinker, but that's uh-
Lawyer: Thank-you. Now: Sexual deviant or magic picture that if you stare at it long enough, you see something?
Peter: Well, sexual deviant, but that other one's not even, eh-
Lawyer: Thank-you
