Medical errors contribute to at least 400,000 deaths every year, making it one of the leading causes of death. However, rather than work on medical excellence and get that number to nearly 0, the left said “Let’s double it.” Because only Progressives can take one of the top medical schools in the country, and give you graduates where half are “incredibly unqualified."

The competence of UCLA Medical School graduates has been declining for several years now. But not all grads are incompetent, just the DEI hires that the administration is so proud of.

According to The Post Millennial:

The University of California, Los Angeles's David Geffen School of Medicine has long been among the best in the state, if not the country. However, in recent years, administrators have seen students' performance decline. These days, an unprecedented number of those enrolled are failing to pass basic medical exams, and struggling to keep up with the course load.

Many have placed the lion's share of the blame on Jennifer Lucero, who was brought in as dean of admissions in 2020 and has since been accused of prioritizing diversity over merit. Her co-workers have alleged that despite the fact that California has long banned the consideration of race in admissions to public schools, she has continued to find ways to put one group above others, even if they do not meet the requirements.

One former member of the admissions staff told the Washington Free Beacon that Lucero has facilitated the transformation of UCLA into a "failed medical school," suggesting, "we want racial diversity so badly, we're willing to cut corners to get it."

There are many occupations where cutting corners is a scary thought. But when it comes to the medical field, that’s especially worrisome.

Since Lucero was hired, UCLA has dropped from 6th to 18th place in the US News & World Report's medical research rankings, and between 2019 and 2022, the number of Asian students declined by nearly a third.

That is a very dramatic decline in such a short amount of time. And of course, the number of Asian students declined. Did no one learn ANYTHING from the Harvard/SCOTUS scandal? Are we not stopping Asian hate anymore, or what?

"Shelf test" results, testing that is typically taken at the end of a clinical rotation and measures basic medical knowledge, have fallen in recent years, with more than 50 percent of students now failing the testing on emergency, family, and internal medicine, as well as pediatrics.

One professor told the outlet that a student could not identify a major artery when asked in the operating room. That student reportedly berated the professor for putting her on the spot.

Wow. It’s horrifying to think that a medical student berated a professor because of her incompetence. The level of entitlement is unsurprising though, considering she’s probably a diversity applicant and her blatant privilege couldn't be any more obvious. Because when things are handed to you when you don’t deserve it, of course, these people will act exactly as they've been treated, like spoiled brats. The professor is also probably too scared to even say anything because the student will cry racism, or whatever, and then become the next Dr. Oz.

"I don't know how some of these students are going to be junior doctors," the professor said. "Faculty are seeing a shocking decline in knowledge of medical students."

"UCLA still produces some very good graduates," one professor told the Free Beacon, "but a third to a half of the medical school is incredibly unqualified."

Interesting. The school dropped a third in ranking and they produce at least about 30 percent of unqualified applicants, probably closer to 50. Thus, we can only predict their ranking to plummet over the next few years. However, I hope that never comes to fruition.

DEI is bad enough. But now the left has essentially decided to play Russian Roulette with patients and it’s evil.

This won’t end racism like the Progressives pretend it will. If anything, it will fuel it. When people become doctors not based on merit but solely by skin color, it wouldn't be a surprise if people start wondering if certain doctors, of a certain skin color, are qualified. Thus, while the left claims to be fighting invisible, systemic racism, they are actually perpetuating it to unfathomable levels.
