In response to Laura Perrins: Why did our medical schools choose this bunch of sanctimonious lefties as tomorrow’s doctors?, PerplexedSardine wrote:
This sardine, having applied in the last few years to British medical schools, can confirm interviewers asked explicitly about equality and diversity (I can’t recall exactly the wording, but the question was regarding my “experience” of diversity).
Faced with the challenge of advertising my political correctness rather than familiarity with medicine and its history, my anecdotes about Chekov and Conan Doyle and their patients availed me naught.
Perhaps, looking back, this was for the best?
