Why is there such a high barrier to becoming a doctor/surgeon? Memorizing a fuckton of OChem and MolBio does not make you a more qualified doctor or surgeon. We're sabotaging our nation by artificially restricting the labor pool and driving the prices to exorbitant levels.

Fuck I meant to post this to /sci/ but I guess it applies here as well.

Yea I’m sure opening the floodgates to brainlets who will be cutting you open would be a good idea

just b urself bro

There's nothing cognitively demanding about surgery, unlike memorizing lots of theoretical shit. Being a good surgeon is a matter of experience and dexterity.

They wouldn't be able to pass the course then.

Theoretical knowledge helps though

Fixed it for you. Affirmative action (legal discrimination) is alive and well, even here in Norway. I've experienced it first hand, beyond reasonable doubt.

That's a pretty brainlet thing to say. You memorize things precisely so that you can remember things when you need to. Being a surgeon requires you to remember medical things on the fly.

Because you are dealing with lives you dumbass.
Maybe you don't notice it because you live in a first world nation, but you know what happens when they let anyone become a doctor? People die. I don't know how many stories i've heard here of people having their lives ruined, or simply dying, because of a doctor's incompetence.

If you want to become a doctor you have to be prepared and if you don't feel capable, you should just get the fuck out.

I don't even know how they can justify it. I mean America, abos here, yeah sure its pretty dumb but if you've got an underclass i can see the logic behind it.
But we voluntarily let them into the country at our own cost and they can leave at any time how is it even possible to frame that as oppression in any way.

kek, just needs the bottom wojak version now.

Yeah I'm sure knowing every enzyme involved in glycolysis really helps surgeons. 99% of theoretical knowledge is useless shit like this btw.

I didn't say let anyone become a surgeon, I said make the training match the job description.

Nice thanks.

I thought you were going full Lachlan.

Theoretical knowledge can surely help during a surgery. But even more importantly it helps them decide what surgery to do, what advice to give to the patient, etc.

Wrong, it's all standardized in enormous technical manuals. There's no critical thinking in surgery.

Docs need to be smart. So, that's how medschools weed people out, they weed the dumbasses and pussies out until they have smart strong people. That's how doctors need to be. I don't see what the problem is.

this is just a meme right

No.

>private med school
>where rich parents send their retarded kids so they won't turn poor, tuition is around 40k dollars per year so 95% of this country can't afford

>public med school (free)
>only the top genius kids get in, entrance exam has like 200 applicants per vacancy

This is a conscious effort on the part of medical schools and doctor's organizations. They want to limit the number of doctors entering the labor pool so that they stay competitive

If that was entirely true then those most expensive med schools wouldn't have such low entry barriers that literally allows anyone to get into but only rich kids able to afford.

I was mainly speaking for American medical schools. Every remotely credible med school here is expensive and the list of hard and soft requirements is ever increasing.

Because its a guild and it keeps supply low to keep demand high

this

Honestly, a lot of doctors lack the proper knowledge in biochemistry. This is something I think everyone who studies medicine, at least here in Sweden, should focus more on.

Exactly. Same thing with construction and the trades

I guess biochemistry is one of those subjects you tend to forget about because there´s only little practical application. Obviously you need to know how to interpret liver enzyme levels etc. but most people probably don´t bother memorizing any actual pathways after the exam.
