word on the street...

Friend: "So I hear at Cornell Medical School med students aren't allowed to really do anything with patients."

Me: " Really? why?"

Friend: " Well, the patient population where Cornell Med is located is largely white, anglo saxon..."
Me: " you mean waspy?"

Friend:" Yeah, that which translates to: can sue your ass off if anything goes wrong because they are rich and powerful."
Me: " Well here we get to do a lot with patients..."

Friend:" Yeah, the population we serve is poor, and they don't usually sue."
Me: " That sucks---for them. But then I guess we are luckier because of it..."
