Many medical schools (and the AMA) have gone very woke in recent years, trying to recruit students who have the right identities and suffusing the curriculum with leftist blather about implicit bias and so on. But does that matter?

A small incident at Wake Forest tells us that it does matter, and in today’s Martin Center article, Graham Hillard writes about it.

Kychelle Del Rosario was a student at Wake Forest’s med school, and one day she was to draw blood from a patient, when the patient commented mockingly on her “pronouns” pin. Kychelle decided to retaliate by deliberately missing the vein so that the patient had to be poked twice. Then she bragged about it in a tweet. That tweet was a big mistake. It caused such an uproar that Wake Forest decided to place her on “extended leave.”

Since going on that leave last year, what has happened? The Martin Center wanted to find out. Hillard did some digging and learned that Del Rosario is not back at Wake Forest and not at any other medical school. He writes:

In short, there is simply no evidence that Del Rosario’s “extended leave” has yet ended or ever will. Nor does another med school appear to have accepted her as a transfer student, a process made intentionally difficult by the Association of American Medical Colleges. To be sure, the readmittance (or transfer acceptance) of Del Rosario would result in a bad news cycle for Wake Forest or whatever institution attempted it, assuming conservative media outlets caught wind of the move. Thus, the young physician-in-training’s medical career may really be over, snuffed out before it began by a startlingly foolish act of woke aggression.
