To be fair, just passing med school, even by the slimmest margins, is no easy feat. The idea that a doctor who got D- grades is somehow bad is wrong because they're still good enough to pass an extremely difficult program.

Yeah, I'd be more comfortable with an A+ doctor, but a doctor still graduated from med school, you know?

    If you could pick between two doctors, one A student and one D student, you know you'd pick the A student.

    But what if the A student was from some sketchy barely accredited medical school and the D student was from Johns Hopkins.

    Who do you pick now?

    What if that straight A student from Johns Hopkins develops an opioid addiction and becomes an insufferable asshole but can still manages to oversee the Differential Diagnosis Department?
