I knew some brilliant and dedicated classmates in Engineering who struggled to get into med school... I imagine even the people at the bottom of those classes are smart and dedicated.

I think we're being too hard on the doctors... Gwen Olsen has a video where she talks about how she was trained to manipulate doctors into prescribing more drugs...

This included tactics like minimizing harmful side effects to doctors, presenting statistics in a slanted way, accusing anyone that speaks out against psychiatric drugs as being a Scientologist, psychological profiling of doctors to best know how to convince them to prescribe your drugs, etc.
Scary stuff...
