Nepotism has no place in the medical field. How can we trust healthcare professionals if some are allowed to skip exams? Our lives are in their hands. We rely on them to diagnose our conditions and treat our illnesses. This kind of practice is deeply alarming.

“Not their fault blah blah—“ GUYS. ✋🏼😐 You already have the privilege so BE KIND. Empathy is free. He wasn’t hating on your parents or your privilege, he was pointing out the injustice in that kind of system.

he is clearly not blaming the privileged people but the nepotism system itself.

doctors/med students with physicians as their parents will NEVER understand the hardships that a first generation has to go through. they do not understand gap years, financial struggles, and the overall struggle of having a family that doesnt understand the rigorous and long training it becomes to be a doctor. get a friend group of first gen doctors and you'll have the best support system ever. not to be envious or invalidate the feelings of those with doctor parents, but starting from scratch is something you'll never problem about.

Some people in this comment section are for real? What do you mean it’s someone fault for being underprivileged? Seryoso kayo? I’m also taking Med School but with slight of privilege but I still understand the hardship of some students especially those na underprivileged. Di lahat ng people may kaya sa buhay palibhasa siguro yung iba sainyo didn’t experience what he is experiencing. And it’s not his fault na ganyan yung situation nya. Nag aaral pa kayo niyan if wala naman kayong understanding? Some of you have a mind of uneducated person eh ay wait…hindi nga mind of uneducated person kasi kahit papano may mga understanding yung mga yun at mas may empathy pa kasi yun. Yung utak nyo ka same level ng mga baliw. Why some of you blame others because of their situation or their parents. Kasalanan nila yun? Di naman gusto ng mga tao na ganyan yung life nila eh sadyang di lahat ng tao pinagpala. At balance ang mundo may mayaman may mahirap. Don’t even act na alam nyo na yung feeling when you haven’t stepped in his shoes. Some people will never understand someone’s life unless they try to live it. And besides Med School tapos gagamitan ng underhanded tricks? Do you want your doctor na walang alam sa med to treat you? Hindi naman siguro diba? The same with other courses. Because someone’s life depends on such courses. Gusto nyo ba na walang alam yung tao na pupuntahan nyo if gusto nyo ng isang bagay? If people depends on their privilege then what will be the future.

Sorry got to say this. It is not her parents fault that they are able to provide privilege for their children because they worked hard, they wisen up, and it is not our fault that our parents worked hard to gain debt had the the audacity to birth a children and passed that debt to their children. What you need to do is to break the cycle so your kin does not experience what you experienced, and experience the privilege you haven't experienced.
Lots of love❤️

It's true that there are hardships without any help from others but what u saw and experience is the also learning that is going to push u far. Bare with the start so that one day, u feel proud looking back at your journey.

Kelly, MD :
My mother was a physician. The only ways her role was helpful to me when I was applying was by helping me get some shadowing opportunities in specialties outside of the one I worked in and by having a solid income where she could help support my education. She was so far removed from the med school process that she had no strings to pull in admissions, couldn’t advocate on my behalf when I struggled in school (she had zero ties to the school I ultimately attended), and couldn’t even fully understand all of the hurdles I had to jump through because a hell of a lot has changed since she did med school in the 80s. I about fainted when I learned she applied to ONE med school and TWO residency programs… 😂 But I will acknowledge that there was privilege involved with being a doctor’s kid, and I cannot even put into words the amount of respect I have for my colleagues who were the first docs in their families. I hear your anger, and I’m very sorry you have had this experience. It certainly can be hella unfair.

people keep saying “it’s not their fault they’re privileged” and maybe yeah, maybe it’s not. But what they don’t get is, we’re not blaming them. We’re just tired. Tired of pretending like everything is fair when it’s clearly not. All you did was share your truth, and that takes guts. They call it bitterness, but I call it honesty. Alam mo ’yon? Kase hindi mo naman minamaliit yung may privilege, sinasabi mo lang na ang hirap maging ikaw. Yung wala kang connection, walang backup, walang gabay, walang shortcut — ikaw lang lahat gumagawa. Just pure grit and sacrifice. I can imagine the weight of being the first doctor in your family. That’s no joke, tbh lang. You’re writing the path as you walk it. And that’s freaking brave. Some people will never understand how heavy it is to wake up every day and know you have to fight for a spot others were born into. And that’s okay. Not everyone will get it, but that doesn’t make your feelings invalid. You’re allowed to feel tired. You’re allowed to feel frustrated. You’re not making excuses. You’re not jealous. You’re just human too. Sometimes, telling your truth will make others uncomfortable. But it also makes people like us feel seen. And that matters, sobra.

Nepotism is fine IF you work hard for the rest of the path. A backer to enter a Uni is fine. HOWEVER, Med school is where we should draw the line. Medicine should not be a 'oh because my parents are docs that's why', lives are at stake here and it's not enough that your parents are docs or own a hospital. Medicine is also tiring and if you don't want it then I doubt you'd take care of your patients with care which I hope would become less for upcoming doctors.

you guys don't need to be guilty to be gentle. empathy is free. "not their fault" comments means lack of empathy, but defensiveness.

WVSU? Most children of doctors there get in despite being a state university. Most children of doctors also get into their dream hospital for their PGIship. Also, secretary of CPU Med is super nice to doctors’ kids
