DERM?!! For sure DEI. That is THE most competitive residency and there are very few spots. I had four outstanding classmates with 4.0's, excellent staff and resident reviews, 99.9% board scores and impeccable resumes. Only one matched. White male who's wife was on staff and very politically connected family. He was still deserving, but would have 100% gone to one of the females applying if not for all the extras.

If she's derm, I want to know how in dafuq she got surgery privileges. The get zero surgical training other than skin procedures. Holding a retractor as a student or intern doesn't count.

The fact that thing has, or had, a medical license is an indictment against the entire medical system in our country starting at the medical school level, the state boards, and the hospitals that would hire it.
I don’t know when she would have been weeded out. If she got into UCLA medical school, then she had at high GPA in college, so that wouldn’t be it. She also didn’t fail her boards.
Maybe her MCAT scores were low? I don’t know. I wouldn’t be against making those public for everyone. Sometimes idiots slip through the cracks.

They were performing a liposuction procedure, so that would be sort of a reversal of fortune.

Today, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division sought intervention in a lawsuit against the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) over the school’s continued use of race in its admissions policies and practices. The underlying lawsuit against UCLA was brought by several groups, including Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA). In 2023, SFFA won a historic victory against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, in which the Supreme Court determined that U.S. universities were no longer allowed to use race as a factor in admissions decisions. SFFA, and now the United States, allege in this lawsuit that UCLA has continued to use race in its admissions decisions after the Supreme Court’s decision in SFFA v. Harvard.
quote:
The United States’ complaint notes that, based on admissions data obtained from the Geffen School, large disparities exist between the academic preparation of minority applicants and non-minority applicants. This invidious racism not only violates the U.S. Constitution, but stigmatizes minority applicants as less qualified, and causes the medical school to admit applicants who are substantially less qualified to become medical doctors.

And that is an indictment against said board.

Minority students can be well below average and still get pushed through. They get one on one tutoring and the few that pass their boards, often barely make it. There are certainly many excellent black doctors out there, but it hurts them when the system lets absolutely incompetent ones through. The vast majority of black med students I've encountered would've never made it in or through had they been white, and I've been part of the admissions process in the past. The truth is the truth.
I worked with Debbie Thomas when she was at Arkansas (UAMS). She went to Stanford and was in a highly competitive ortho residency. I worked with her closely. She was surprisingly lazy for the average person, much less a former Olympic athlete, and her knowledge base was terrible. She graduated from Stanford Med. She was and resident and I was a 3rd year med student from Arkansas and was FAR superior to her. I felt bad for the way she was treated, but she certainly did not deserve the spot. She later became and crackhead and lost her medical license.
So the fact that she went to UCLA don't mean shite, especially for liberal west coast schools. And it don't make a shite who she trained under. Stupid is stupid.

No mask. Nonsterile gloves, with untucked gown sleeves. Liposuction cannula waved in and then out of sterile field.

Seems the patient is the real dumb one here. Why the hell would you go get a procedure done by someone who isn’t qualified? You’re basically asking for this to happen by doing so.
Reminds me of the women that go and get cement injected in their arse by some “plastic surgeon” in Miami.

This plague used to be one you could avoid by not going to certain areas. Thanks to dumbass leftist and their Dei policies we’re all going to have to deal with them.

Yep, it looks bad to people who don’t have experience working in a sterile environment like an OR.
If you do have experience it’s even more stunning.

By keeping your hands above the waste and in front of your chest, you are pretty much always in contact only with the sterile field.
There are a lot of different rules that seem strange in the OR.
Another is you should never pass someone with their back to your front. Considered infection risk.

100% money grab. I discovered recently that you don’t actually need any real surgical training to do “cosmetic” procedures after I saw a patient in the emergency department for fat emboli syndrome following liposuction/Brazilian butt lift performed by a doctor with only internal medicine training who was now running a full blown cosmetic practice. I was/am blown away someone without any surgical residency training can perform these procedures under the guise of it being “just” cosmetic.

You’re right, it’s definitely easier for people like this to slip through

My bet is that this did not occur in a hospital system, but some type of private clinic/quasi surgery center that she was probably invested in or owned. She probably went to a weekend course for lipo, hired out some washed up anesthesia provider and hung out a shingle to do cut rate cosmetic procedures. Those types of facilities aren't subject to the same standard of inspection and regulation that real hospitals are, which is why the general public has to be very careful.
I'm a big believer in only doing procedures that one has had legitimate and rigorous training for and when adding new procedures they should be germaine to a skill set already possessed.
This is more than awful. Makes me sick.
