Ahh yes. The "warp and woof existence."

Some prime Principal Skinnerism here. We'll ignore the fact that the tradition of crushing residencies came from a coke fiend who went on vacation to detox and came back a junkie.

I feel like you dropped a bread crumb there with the thing about the coke head, and I need more. Links?

I have a step brother I've only met a few times who has an osteopathic medical degree from a school that's in an industrial park in suburban Atlanta. Grade inflation probably helped him, sure. But I would like to have the kind of brain that looks at this as an indictment of young people and not an example of a horribly broken medical system scrambling for any warm body willing and able to go through the schooling and residency process. Seems like that would be comforting
