I found this interesting as I was curious as to which college Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson's physician at the end, went to. I always figured he was a quack, because--with all Jackson's money--why would he find some obscure physician in Houston to treat him, and then demand said physician give him treatments that even non-medical folks like me know are dangerous and foolish to do (another article stated Murray was in debt something like $780K at the time of hire, so he needed that job with Jackson for sure...the guy was between a rock and a hard place I guess)?
So, I find this Murray went to Meharry Medical College in Nashville, 6th from bottom of this list, where your MCAT needs to be a mere 7.5 score and your GPA only needs to be a 3.1 (isn't that a C grade average?).
So, I feel my theory is right about Dr. Murray; however, I am going to pay more attention to where my physician went to school from now on.
And I'm thinking that the quality of medical education has a strong effect on the quality of care you receive when you are ill. Do others agree with me on this or have opposing views?
I'd love to hear from some of our medical pros on this board about the issue of physician care and quality of the attended medical school. If anyone knows, it's you medical professionals.
