My fellow American conservatives, you may have to take out a second mortgage to afford stitches at the ER, but did you know woke minority doctors will also mock you if you die?
That screenshot is from a Compact article by white-dude Forrest Bohler, a 4th-year medical student at Oakland University and incoming surgical resident at University of Pennsylvania. He applied to medical school during the insanity that was 2020. He, like many qualified white applicants, found it nearly impossible to get accepted to schools.
When he finally managed to talk with an admissions officer, this is how it went:
Eventually, I spoke with an admissions officer at one of the schools that rejected me. He told me that I was extremely qualified and had everything the school looked for in an applicant. He said he couldn't give me a concrete reason I wasn't accepted, other than that I didn't fit the demographic the school was prioritizing, and that other applicants were viewed as having 'traveled a longer distance' to medicine. My application, he said, was evaluated through that lens.
Smart people know there's a word for this line of thinking.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (AKA "Everyone But White Men") went crazy for 4-5 years after St. George Floyd smoked his last hit of fentanyl. Bohler found himself fighting an uphill battle. After noting that white applicants have to have higher MCAT and GPA scores than non-whites to be admitted to medical school, he says he had to bust his butt to make up for his lack of dark skin.
If I wanted to succeed in medicine, I couldn't leave room for doubt. So I pursued a NIH research fellowship, received research training, published scientific papers, and obtained letters of recommendation from prominent virologists. When I reapplied, I was accepted to multiple medical schools and received significant scholarship offers to many of them. But once again, my state's flagship institution rejected me. I don't claim to know precisely why. But patterns are hard to ignore.
After enrolling at Oakland, Bohler quickly realized that the woke brain rot was not limited to the admissions office. It had been saturated into the very air of his school.
Orientation included an entire day devoted to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We were asked, and even pressed, to publicly recount moments of discrimination from our lives. The exercise assumed a shared framework of identity and victimhood. At one point, a student asked the DEI instructor to explain the meaning of 'demisexual,' which was written next to the 'Gender Unicorn' they were teaching us about. After a long pause, the instructor admitted she didn't know how to define it.
We've written about demisexuals and the Gender Unicorn before. It was all the rage circa 2022:
Bohler explains that our next generation of doctors are quite literally learning a false narrative about history and science:
As my preclinical years unfolded, faculty members made sweeping, negative statements about 'old white men in medicine,' often pausing mid-sentence to add 'no offense' while glancing in my direction. When classmates learned that my family lives in rural Montana and that my adopted sister is Asian, one student remarked that she couldn't imagine how my sister could 'feel safe' living around 'that many white people.'
Even scientific language became a site of moral enforcement. In anatomy, we were instructed to avoid long-established eponyms, such as the 'fallopian tube' (named after Italian anatomist Gabriele Falloppio) not because they were unclear or outdated, but because they were named for historical white figures, now deemed unacceptable. On examinations, points were deducted for using the 'wrong' term.
This leads up full circle to the quote at the top of this article. Bohler's fellow students laughed about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. They mocked him for his thoughtcrime and celebrated perceived irony in his murder.
Do you think these woke doctors are going to provide excellent care informed by the Hippocratic Oath to those who vote or look differently than them?
Unfortunately, many Americans - even conservatives - don't take the threat of the Woke Mind Virus seriously. Apparently, we've forgotten the bloody lessons of the 20th century.
Bohler said he decided to join the woke cultists, since he couldn't beat them.
Given these facts, I felt I had only one option. I learned the language, joined the committees, and even served on my institution's DEI council. Along with my desire to get ahead, there was genuine curiosity. I wanted to understand how decisions were made and what was actually rewarded. It worked. I received the school's Outstanding Student Award in both my first and second years. I won seven institutional scholarships, some explicitly tied to 'championing diversity and inclusion.' I was inducted into the medical honor society AOA, one of the most consequential distinctions in medical training. I eventually received the school's Excellence in Diversity Award, an annual honor given to just two students, though I later learned some classmates were upset that a white man had been selected.
In the last decade, there has been a 30% decrease in the number of white male medical students thanks to DEI insanity, but you can thank Obama (once again) for the hateful, discriminatory policies that are tearing America apart.
Beginning in the late-2000s and early-2010s, diversity goals were formally embedded into the national accreditation standards that medical schools and residency programs were required to satisfy in order to continue operating.
As it turns out, producing hateful robots who have learned revisionist propaganda instead of medicine has real-world consequences. Data shows a sharp, horrifying drop in the competency of American med students.
One of the most prominent recent examples comes from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, which publicly embraced aggressive DEI initiatives and race-conscious admissions practices. In the years that followed, reporting based on internal data and whistleblower accounts described a precipitous decline in student academic performance, including more than 50 percent of medical students failing standardized clinical exams in core subjects in family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, and pediatrics. For context, the national failure rate for these same exams is roughly 5 percent.
Bohler says many of the DEI initiatives that the Trump admin has tried to stop are still there under the surface, just waiting for Trump to go away. Things like the LCME Standard 7.6 require medical schools to provide DEI metrics, for example. Bohler says Oakland is now requiring "mandatory bias training" for students that will teach them to be good little gay-race communists.
We used to say that we got excellent and timely care in exchange for paying top dollar. At this point, it seems like we're paying top dollar for unqualified doctors who hate us and everything we believe.
