Along those lines. I have always looked at Kaiser similar to the Military. Not as big, but the way they do things reminds me of being in the Army, which I was, but bailed at the end of a three year enlistment.
WHERE WAS I? Oh, Doctors. I'm sure everybody has noticed that there are (possibly) a majority of foreign doctors trained here in our excellent medical schools. And, Kaiser seems to like foreign doctors. For a while, I was assigned a female doctor that seemed like she was from the mideast, somewhere? She even got to look at my junk when I had some kind of jock itch. I couldn't tell if she was impressed, or not?
I have been seeing a gastro-something specialist doctor and she is Chinese. She talks fast and doesn't like to answer questions. She has a twin sister that also works in that department.
I have cruised around UCLA, (not real recently) and one cannot help but notice that Asians are certainly taking advantage of our institutions of higher learning. When I broke my ribs a couple years ago while cutting palm fronds, executing a layout in the pike position, difficulty 1.8....that doctor, a thoractic something? he had a hispanic name, Navarro, and probably liked soccer?
Are we training Caucasians as MD's anymore? Seems they all want to study computer science and learn to hack the IRS.
Stay on topic! (joke)

A close friend of mine went to med school in Guadalajara, Mexico. Couldn't afford any schools here in country.
He is now Chief resident of Anesthesia at one of the best hospitals on Long Island...
Go figure?

Between my Dad's cousins, my Uncles and my cousins, there are a handful of doctors of various sorts, from M.D. to chief of orthopedic surgery at a major area hospital.
Every single one of them, has told their children, very loud and clear - DO NOT GO INTO MEDICINE!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!!
For all the obvious reasons. Mostly, that they are not allowed to decide how much they charge, that they are slaves to the insurance companies, etc.
The ones chasing the money (and who can blame them), are going into law and finance.
I live in one of the whitest major metros in the country. Heard a stat on the radio just yesterday, that less than 1% of the population here is black? Not hard to believe. My Wife went to the high school nearest where we live now, said that out of 3500 students, only one was black. It's still a little bit surprising to see a black person at the Walmart nearest our house.
I grew up in the least white neighborhood in the entire state, but that's neither here nor there.
Anyway... Yes, Asians seem to have their eye on the prize. My Son attends the U of U, big public university here in Salt Lake - one of the whitest places you'll find. In his third year of engineering school, going to be an EE. Not all of his profs do rankings, but a few do. Logan (my son), has made top 5 or top 3 in every ranking so far (he was #1 on his midterms this week, with a 98 and the next closest was a 90!). And, in every ranking so far, I have not been able to pronounce any of the other names! All Asian.
Good for them. Says I. They're putting in the work, I hope they get the rewards.

Interesting, Dave. Congrats to your son.
You know what? I graduated from El Monte Union High School in the middle of the San Gabriel Valley in 1960. There was not a single black student at that school and maybe 10% Mexican-American. The rest, pretty much Okies, working class whites.
Of course, that was then. A friend who funded an endowment scholarship at El Monte told me that the student body is now 98% hispanic and 95% English as a second language. Now they have a high fence around the school, back then it was an open campus. There are only two high schools in the entire state of California with an endowed trust scholarship, El Monte and Torrance HS. (little trivia)

LB, sounds like a plea for a couple of carloads of Okies to caravan out ya'lls way & run the Cholos back to east la, send the coons back to watts, block all the exits out of garden grove so the Viet cong don't try to expand their territory & I almost forgot!!! round up all the queers ( in red leather ) and send them back to melrose ave. 😂 Have a nice day
