    I've met a shitload of racist/chud medical workers. I feel like it's at the same average you'd find from any random sampling, but that's still a huge problem.

      I think a big reason for this is the high barrier of entry to the medical field. The admissions process for medical school alone can easily cost upwards of $1500. So it ends up being a mix of people from privileged backgrounds, and people who made it in thinking "fuck you I got mine".

        If you ever want a pit of despair, /r/medicine is where it's at, although I hear /r/residency is a awful as well (and never forget whatever the med student equivalent is).
