[Histonet] 88305TC starting to hit the fan...

[Paula Sicurello]

Sure they want more physicians.  My husband was forced to leave
medical school when he became sick (they wouldn't give him a medical
leave of absence).  No other medical school would touch him after
that.  They thought something was fishy, his transcript reads "medical
leave of absence" which wasn't true.  The other shcools can't figure
out why the school he was in wouldn't take him back.  If he wanted to
retake the MCAT and apply cold, they told him he could do that.

Medicine is a self limiting profession.  The AMA determines how many
doctors are availabe to keep a limited resource, limited. Thus the
$280/hour radiologist.

You leave with close to $200,000 in debt if attending a private
school.  Primary care pays, in most regions, under $100,000/yr.  When
you have that kind of debt, lower paying primary care jobs aren't
enticing.

My bitter two cents.
