Barbados is a hotbed for MDs.
Given the US med school acceptance rate of 3%-4%... it's where the B students go (noting that B now approximates a C or C- for anyone over 50).
To be fair, I hired a trio of folks from foreign med schools and they were my best players. As someone who graduated from LSU (went in dumb, come out dumb too) college and med school, sometimes itâs possible to rise above the setting. Examples: Lake Charles high school graduate Tony Kushner, and my college roommate that Iâve mentioned before who became a planetary scientist and discovered the furthest known object in the solar system.
So, labeling someone as incapable because theyâre a FMG (foreign medical graduate) is a prejudice that can let you miss some very competent folks.
The wailing this crowd did over fascism when they were told to wear a mask during a pandemic was exhausting. To hear them cheer it on now is a WTF moment.
"You're removing our freedoms and stomping on our Constitutional rights by these Communist dictatorship orders or laws you want to mandate," another woman said.
Ann Whitney, an essential worker, told commissioners she doesn't wear a mask in the same way she doesn't wear underwear.

These are the very people turning Ukraine into a vast cemetery, visited by widows, orphans, and amputees in camouflage. A country where the slogan "We will avenge them" has become a bitter ironyâbecause it justifies new sacrifices with the old ones, over and over again, until there's no one left to do the avenging.
And people like Mark Levin will still be saying, "Ukraine is winning." Of course they will. From Washington's perspective, it's the perfect war: Russia is being weakened without the United States losing a single soldier.
What would you have Ukraine do, Richard? Lay down and let Putin have free reign?
