In response to "You don't hire him, though. " by Subversive

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.

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Jul 11 '09, 22:57

I chose my doctor because he's a participating provider who's 3 minutes from my house.

And I'd wager that 99% of his patients did the same thing.

No one checked his degree before they decided to see him.

I get what you're saying...and it may be true for employers, I don't know...but what I know is that my doc could have graduated from Harvard...or he could have graduated from Bunghole U. It doesn't matter.

But that was in no way what anyone was arguing about. - Subversive Jul 11, 22:59 13

  - 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
