I really loved the points discussed by Dr. Mullan. As a medical student myself, I am often frustrated by even the lack of medical curriculum to discuss the importance of addressing critical and unmet health problems and populations in our society. Luckily, this is something I have always been passionate about, so I joined a track at my school that focuses on serving underserved populations. This track consists of extra coursework and lectures where we learn about different underserved and underrepresented populations and how we can better serve these communities as future physicians. The information I have learned through this track has been some of the most impactful lessons of my medical career, and I wish our medical school curriculum would prioritize implementing this into our core courses because everyone should be learning it. I believe that most medical schools today are primarily focused on advancing cutting-edge technology, but in doing that we are only serving wealthy populations who can afford these inventions. Instead, we should be focusing on serving our entire society so that we can bring more justice and equality to the medical field. As Dr. Mullan pointed out, the goal of our medical schools should be to "move the floor up" in medicine so that we can fulfill our ethical obligations to serve our communities equitably instead of only extending the lives of select groups in our population.

When it has a placebo effect in a fraction of patients, do you consider that it works?

Flexner was a hitman and his legacy is on par with that of the Spanish Inquisition. The goals of the consolidation of power and neutralization of any and all competitors through the control of thinking itself and educational "titles" were of more significance than healing itself. The Flexner report effectively turned an entire field of study from a decentralized diverse array of modalities and practitioners into a cartel of one modality of medicine such that it could be centralized, commodified, codified and controlled by a small group of elite at it's core to raise prices and direct public opinion through fear.

"Diverse array of modalities" included homeopathy, spiritualism, snake oil, and diploma mills.

Let physicians do their work, and leave your "social mission" (politics) to others.

BS history! What a quick silver huh.
