Or he's simply a crappy surgeon.

So one guy isn't interested in studying or reading, and some other (nerdier) guy has to read books and learn stuff to be at a comparable level of intelligence. And the term you use for this is "biologically equally smart"? Pretty dubious (and wishful) imo.

How would you know the ostensibly lazy guy wasn't studying on the sly? And how would you know how much effort and time nerdy guy had to dedicate to studying to keep up with lazy guy? How would you measure and control such variables? Or does your speculation consist of "they're roughly equally skilled at puzzles and pattern recognition ergo they're biologically equally smart"? It sounds like the hypothesis of someone who didn't burn time reading books.

he's not a crappy surgeon, he's a crappy person

my gf is hoping to score a residency in pediatric surgery next year and she laughed out loud when i asked her if 7 malpractice suits over a 35 year career in his profession was in any way exceptional. 1 per 5 years is actually a remarkably low number.

understand that i hate this man with a passion, so it pains me greatly to come to his defense like this, but he's def not an incompetent surgeon.

Who gives a flying **** if Carson is a good surgeon?

Does it not make him a ****ty person?

In other news Aaron Hernandez was a good football player

the **** people?

Carson is a garbage human being who is completely unqualified for his job, the end.

Oh, okay. Just ignore my posts in the future buddy, dont worry about it. (its a target group thing)

Victor keeps going hard in the paint that he's a legit terrible doctor.

Nobody cares wat u say bruh.

that's exactly my ****ing point- for the millions of things there are to criticize him about, his prowess as a surgeon simply isn't one of them.

stick to the stuff that matters and dont spread misinformation because it only makes you look dumb to people who know better

I was curious about this so I just did some light searching and found this quote on a student doc message board:

No citation, but he mentioned it was a quote by a neurosurgeon at Columbia Medical Center.

awval if it makes you feel better we also think you're a very bad medicine cashier

fyp

when it's time to operate, fatalistic figures hold your fate!

No, there's no NY state law equivalent for that. I was more talking about if Kushner was involved in financial frauds involving Russia Banking and his corporation (headquartered in NY).

Holy ****. These are obviously high-risk surgeries.

Carson is undoubtedly an excellent surgeon. Johns Hopkins doesn't hire ****ty surgeons to direct their pediatric neurosurgery department. Carson is undoubtedly above average in intelligence (low ninetieth percentile on the SAT.) If Carson were still practicing and I had a choice between him and some rando neurosurgeon in the US to operate on my kid, i snap choose him.

Trump loves himself and what could be more Trump-like than finding a younger clone of yourself to work with?

Kushner is an unremarkable man with limited work-ethic who rode to an Ivy League school on his daddy's wallet before inheriting the entire wallet and using it to make poor business decisions. Sound familiar?

Plus he gets to **** Ivanka and we know how much Trump wants that.

If you actually believed that you wouldn't post here, so clearly no

and yeah **** harvard too, if Charles Manson Sr had backed a dumptruck up to the admissions office and offloaded gold bars on the steps his son would have been accepted

In general I think this political forum is pretty good, actually.

I think Carson and awval are probably pretty close intelligence-wise.

I've made this point before, but have you guys actually spent time around doctors? As a group they are some of the most insufferable, least well rounded people out there. From undergrad on, all they learn is science/math/specialization. They take basically no coursework in stuff that may keep them from developing predictably atrocious political beliefs. Then, in practice, they are constantly getting affirmation of their inherent amazingness from nurses, resident and patients. Almost uniformly, they are self absorbed, selfish pricks. Of course they end up like Ben ****ing Carson.

And in case it wasn't clear the trump playbook is a millimeter thick, out come the TRUMP CONSIDERING SHAKE UP headlines. Media falling for it as per usual. In other news John McCain is very extra super duper troubled by whatever offensive remark and or horrible idea Trump will be a part of tomorrow.
