Maybe so...but I don't give 2 shits where a guy went to med-school...as long as he takes SLU Coventry Health Care.

Which I'm pretty sure is all he was trying to say.

- That's just it...he wasn't complaining and it wasn't about his degree. - Jim Jul 11, 23:11 3
  - i'm sorry but i read this post as a complaint: about the cost -- (link) - 'lia Jul 11, 23:14 [Backboard] 2
    - k. not my fight. -- nm - Jim Jul 11, 23:17 1

You don't hire him, though. - Subversive Jul 11, 22:54 17
- You are right in that you associate prestigious with expensive. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 22:59 1
  - Blah.. "you are wrong" -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 23:00
- Sure I do. When push comes to shove...I DO hire him. I could have chosen any one of a thousand general practitioners to be my family doctor. - Jim Jul 11, 22:57 14
  - But that was in no way what anyone was arguing about. - Subversive Jul 11, 22:59 13
    - Sure it was... -- (link) - Jim Jul 11, 23:04 [Backboard] 11
      - He brought it up, and Loosi immediately took it back to the employers. -- nm - Subversive Jul 11, 23:04 10
        
        Yes...she most condescendingly did. -- nm - Jim Jul 11, 23:06 9
        
        I don't see where you're getting condescending from. - musubi Jul 11, 23:08 7
        
        well, I counted at least 3 slags for attending a state school. nm - Jim Jul 11, 23:10 6
        
        She wasn't slagging state schools. She was saying state schools are less expensive. - musubi Jul 11, 23:12 5
        
        Well... I am just not sure how me saying schooling is ridiculously expensive results in a post from Subversive saying I went to a crappy school. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 23:16 3
        
        Subby didn't say that. He *asked* you if you went to a crappy school and that's why you were being so defensive. - musubi Jul 11, 23:28 1
        
        I am not being defensive. I just don't agree with you guys 100%. *shrug* - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 23:29
        
        You got defensive irrationally. It seemed like a likely deduction. -- nm - Subversive Jul 11, 23:27
        
        k. like I said. not my fight. -- nm - Jim Jul 11, 23:14
        
        Ok, I can see we're not getting anywhere here. It's all good. -- nm - Subversive Jul 11, 23:07
    - You know that the prestige of your med school has very very very minimal influence on where and which residency you do, right? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 23:03
Exactly. Employers don't care that much either. I have seen this first hand. But whatevers. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 11, 22:52
