THE ABUSE IS REAL
After the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) revealed in the articlePrevalence of Depression, Depressive Symptoms, and Suicidal Ideation Among Medical Students: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” what more than a quarter of medical students had depression y one in 10 had suicidal thoughtsvoices have been raised warning of the impact ofl medical mistreatment, abuse of professors and tutors on doctors in training.
In a case study presented by JAMAis shown to a medical student who is aggressively interrogated and condescendingly joked regarding his academic abilities to answer a medical questioning.
The new material presented under the title “Medical Student Mistreatment” points out that the current educational style includes questioning future doctors regarding topics that are beyond their educational level with the intention of motivate them to learnbut the flaw is to use a sarcastic tone.
This may be a reflection of the culture in which senior doctors have been formed, indicate voices like that of Abraar Karan, who has a master’s degree in Public health and is a candidate for Harvard T. H. Chan School of Health.
Also president of the University of California School of Medicine Student Council has recognized that “harmful” comments regarding gender, sexuality, race and intelligence of doctors in training are constant and they are presented in the form of a joke:
The medical education creates anxiety, stress and depression abuse between the students. But more than a low test score or a less-than-perfect evaluation, true pain is inflicted when those we trust to teach and guide us demean, ridicule, or reject us.
In this regard, he highlighted the need for authority figures to find better ways to display their responsibility well, otherwise, it is not feasible that there is a significant improvement in cases of depression in medical students.
