You're just the coolest poster ever being able to bash a profession and a teaching institution. When did someone attending a learning institution become a target for ridicule?
You are a horses arse.
I never bashed Auburn. I would fully support them getting a med school. We need more good medical doctors in Alabama. I would also never ridicule someone trying to better themselves by going to a DO school. Good for them. I still would not want one performing a major surgery on me though.

Where did I ever claim you did? I am calling you out for standing on your lofty tower belittling a school and what students go there for. You have made your position quite clear on DO vs MD. You have now crossed that proverbial line of smugness, and complete arse.hole. So congrats on being that guy.

Who would?
IMO, the greatest general strength of our medical system is specialists. Although it is a costly strength the care from the best specialists (be it surgeons or otherwise) is without equal.
And the greatest weakness is the reliance on prescriptions and treating symptoms instead of fixing problems. Which is why DO schools exist in the first place. An alternative and a better approach to something that does not work well.

In America that ability to trust a doctor's skill has almost nothing to do with where he graduated or what his MCAT score is. American standards for medicine are very high compared to the rest of the world, and parity between schools is phenomenal. A good doctor can come from anywhere and have MD or D.O. next to his name.
I am happy this school is coming to Auburn and Dothan. I hope the school standards are high from an academic and treatment standpoint. Having worked in 5 hospitals (including a medical school) and several 3rd world hospitals, I can say that raw intelligence IS NOT A GOOD INDICATOR of how good a doctor will be.
