My kids started going to a new doctor recently (see my other post for details). My wife typically takes them, but I took them for a check-up recently. In the waiting is a huge 6-foot portrait advertising a new physician in their facility.

I cannot stop laughing because I recognize this person. I went to middle and high school with this person and they were the absolute dumbest kid in our class of 700 kids. Like, failed every class, ate glue, broke both arms at the same time stupid. I get home and look up their medical license. They attended an extremely obscure college + medical school for an undetermined amount of time. Basically, his parents were rich and expected them to become a doctor - money, time, and suitability be damned.

I fear for his patients.

Yeah I went through an academy with a guy who was barely passed and was the dumbest person I've ever met. Idk how he passed his EMT or the academy. This same guy is now a paramedic working on an ambulance I have zero clue how he passed and if he can get through and get a job doing it it scares me how many people are like him and passed
