Men are "scientific," women are "lovely" and underrepresented minorites are "pleasant" and "nice." If those sound like stereotypes, they are. But they're also words commonly used to evaluate medical students, a study finds.
Analysis of nearly 88,000 evaluations of third-year medical students written from 2006 to 2015 revealed evidence of implicit bias. White women and underrepresented minority groups were more often described by words about their personalities, while men were evaluated with more words describing their competancy.
The results, published online April 16 in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, give "a good idea of what kind of words are being used," says Carol Isaac, an education researcher at Mercer University in Atlanta not involved in the study.

But I would like a lot more female into the medical profession, and I don't mean nurses.
Doctors, especially surgeons, pull macho bullshit and hazing, acting like they are some Mongol warriors charging against cowering medical students, interns and residents.
Funny thing. In the medieval times, the "best" doctors were jews, and even then, one mistake and their heads were chopped off.

Definitely! We need females in every waiting room to provide oral pleasure. Waiting to see a doctor can be quite stressful!

I am guessing all your female relatives are attractive.
My sister will set you straight.
By "straight", I mean dead as dodo.

I had a series of IV antibiotics for several weeks once - four nurses on staff, ranging in attractiveness from 1.4 to 9.7 - their ability to insert the IV correctly was absolutely directly inversely proportional to their attractiveness. It got so bad I was asking about their schedules so I could avoid the hot one.

"In the medieval times, the "best" doctors were jews"
The khazar jews still do that. They would be more than happy to avoid any job that requires actual work. They love jobs like state prosecutors, judges, lawyers, doctors, merchants, teachers, bankers, pornographers, film directors,... anything that does not require actual work or creating something of value. They are the spongers of society. Avoid them like the plague they are.

So why do you? I guess the jews are smarter than you.
