The classic joke asks: What do you call the person who graduates last in their medical school class? The punchline: Doctor.
It’s clear that so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)” policies in medicine may be putting lives at risk, and there is already data to back up this claim.
Prominent conservative attorney John LeFevre shared a 2022 study on X proving this. Authored by Norwegian professors, the study titled, “Does Your Doctor Matter? Doctor Quality and Patient Outcomes” claims that a standard deviation increase in doctor quality is associated with a 12.2% decline in a patient’s two-year mortality risk.
“Using a lower bound of the predicted value of an additional life year in Norway ($35,000), our results demonstrate that replacing the worst performing GPs (bottom 5 percent of the VA distribution) with GPs of average quality generates a social benefit of $27,417 per patient, $9.05 million per GP, or $934 million in total,” the report’s abstract reads. “At the same time, our results show that higher-quality GPs are associated with a lower per-patient cost.”
LeFerve also posted a photo illustrating the influence of affirmative action on acceptance rates in medical schools.
According to the chart, Black applicants to medical school in the bottom 10% are accepted at similar rates as whites and Asians in the top 10%.
The American Medical Association restricts the number of licensed doctors each year, intensifying the competitive nature of this situation.
Put simply, when medical professionals are hired based on their qualifications rather than factors like skin color, patients are more likely to receive higher-quality care.
It’s probably obvious, but it’s worth mentioning.
Numerous individuals on social media recounted their troubling encounters with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the field of medicine.
