Join Drs. Buttress and Fairchild as they discuss the lawsuit agains the NRMP for "Medical Mismatch" and the monopoly the NRMP has over residency. To be short, we think its a bunch of hoopla, and you chose this profession, knowing or not knowing what you would be undertaking to become a physician. Hence, why we made this podcast- to shed light on this career and what it ACTUALLY takes and means to become a surgeon and get the privilege of taking care of human lives everyday. We hope you don't take offense at our views and opinions in this episode, they are just that.
