I accidentally ended up at a religious university for medical school and you better believe I've gotten in numerous fights with the law and ethics professor (who, to be fair, is actually a MD/JD) regarding the prescribed conservative religious approach to the ethics discussions. I absolutely did not change his mind, but I did get a bunch of my classmates to start asking questions by putting myself out there and challenging the professor on their BS.
Edit: I should clarify that these fights were on mic in the recorded lectures, so there's a hard record of my arguing with him.
Alright class, now that we've removed the patient's lungs, we're gonna pray he gets better. Yes, I see a raised hand in the back row?
Yes, sorry - doesn't he need a lung to survive?
Right, good catch. We're first going to pray he grows a lung. Yes, you with the notebook?
Who will be doing the closing?
That'll be sister Jane. Sister, 12 "hail Marys" and a closing prayer, please. Class dismissed.
And then I guess y'all watch as the man flatlines while the nuns go "please give this one some sutures God, I promise I'll be good from now on" and "God, if ever you were going to grow organs, please, now's the time. The man can't breathe. It's not his fault"
Sounds like a good time. Do they give degrees or do you need to pray to get hired?
