What can you do if you feel like your med school is grossly failing its students? Can you report them to the AMA or NBME or something? Students have tried every avenue to fix things and admin just does not give a single solitary shit

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,
don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.
Don’t bother.
Please.
And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

Do I know anyone in the SC area who knows someone (or *is* someone) who wants to adopt two cats? I desperately need to find a home for my parents' two cats. I already have three, so I can't take them. They are boarding at their vet while I look, and I have to go home to PA in less than a week.
