If we are going to stick to tradition aren't we supposed to be killing cows, lambs and goats to appease god and stoning people to death for certain "sins" ? Times change ro.

Pretty sure J.C. forbade this some 2,000 years ago.

Rojo's fake outrage is getting ridiculous and obvious.

The amount of snowflakes nowadays is proof that global warming is a hoak. This is a witty joke btw. You get snowflakes when it snows, and snow with colder weather.

The very definition of a snowflake is someone that would get offended by this article.

The biggest snowflakes are all these conservative people that get offended by "kneeling" and "no prayers in schools" and saying "happy holidays." They hate PC, unless it affects them.

Rojo, why are you posting threads titled "Snowflake 1st year medical residents complain having to wear shorter lab coat is "offensive", Johns Hopkins agrees"?

Don't you operate a running website? Why are you posting inflammatory political threads? This makes it clear why the forums on LRC are such a toxic mess. You actively join in and encourage this sort of behavior either because 1.) you're very immature and/or 2.) it brings in ad revenue.

I really like the front page content on LRC, but this is the last straw for me regarding your forums. When you and your brother decide to be mature adults and cultivate a forum that isn't a total cesspool maybe I'll come back.

You sound like a typical snowflake.

Rojo, how about you go to four years of medical school and then do well enough to get a Hopkins residency, then tell us how these people are snowflakes for wanting to be respected as physicians (albeit who are still learning). They are the opposite of entitled. They have spent four years in the books and on the wards, often at the expense of having active social and family lives. I would say they have earned the right to wear whatever they want.

NPs and PAs wear these coats with far less training. If anyone should be wearing short coats it is them.

funny post, maybe the people who have already been working there for many years also want to be distinguished and respected more than people who have worked there a few months? shouldn't they according to you based on what they've already done get even more respect by a longer coat if they want?

this is the snowflake mentality, anything I want or want to find offensive that isn't should be given to me because I want it

Another sniveling illogical sjw chimes in. You are a symbol of much of what is wrong in the West. Gutless virtue-signaling, fueled by the fear of not being with the in-crowd, not being considered PC.

Irony of the day: in a thread that Rojo started by calling people snowflakes, my post questioning his use of the term was deleted.

The overwhelming majority of the NPs and PAs I work with are far more accomplished, intelligent and experienced than first year residents. And humble enough to know what they don't know.

Source: I'm an MD. I work with them all. We know which ones keep the show afloat (hint: not us and the students and residents seem hell bent on burning the world to the ground at all times)

I dunno, getting upset when a med school you have no connection to slightly adjusts the length of its residents' lab coats seems insanely "snowflakey" to me.

that's not how any of this works wrote:

I believe that your NPs and PAs may be more accomplished and experienced than your interns, but I don't believe that they are, on average, more intelligent.

Blowjo blows the dog whistle, and here you are.

Another MD here.

Are NP/PAs more humble? Usually.

More ‘accomplished’? Depends what you mean. In terms of experience, of course they’ll have more than an intern, interns are fresh out of school! Intelligent? Doubt it although they’ll have more practical knowledge. In a few years the former intern may be supervising the PA.

PAs/NPs do well when they are trained to one specialty (ICU, subspecialty Med clinic, etc). In primary care they are a disaster. However residents have to rotate every month.

If they focused on one thing, they’ll be better than the PA.

As far as the coat thing, I don’t think most people in medicine actually care.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Yup.

Rojo, can't you see how offensive and marginalizing this tradition was?! How can you condone such hateful and bigoted views on your website. This site is turning into a cesspool of alt-right Trumpkin propaganda. I think it is time for the advertisers to boycott. You must immediately get whichever one of you message board moderators who always deletes threads to delete this thread right away. How dare you state any opinion that could be seen as offensive to anyone?

In case my sarcasm is not obvious, I'm calling out letsrun for their constant deleting of political/cultural threads, even though the website founders like to post similarly themed topics, with a right-leaning viewpoint. I honestly don't get it. I think letsrun has some rouge censorious employee that needs reprimanded, or they outsource their MB moderating to a leftist google algorithm. Either way, it's super annoying.

PEOPLE who make 300k/year are snowflakes? How?

I thought it was the SJWs wanting handouts who are snowflakes
