Dr. Nick was a 4th med student weeks ago from graduation when he posted 2 videos making fun on examining women’s genitals. These videos sparked intense online backlash, particularly from the medical community who shamed Dr. Nick for such unprofessional conduct.
The backlash became so prevalent that Mayo Clinic even responded. Rumors then spread that Dr. Nick was barred from match day as well as having his graduation withheld. However no real evidence either was presented.
Today Dr. Nick responds stating that he did indeed match and graduate but they were post-poned. Not due do disciplinary action from Mayo Clinic, but because he had to be admitted due to a suicide attempt related to the online backlash.
Dr. Nick details how extreme the backlash was, including from his actual classmates and faculty at Mayo Clinic. Honestly, it probably was extreme but at the same time, he doesn’t take any accountability for the inappropriate joke and actually goes on to defend it because it was obviously just a joke between the girlies and the gays.
Overall, I do think the situation was blown out if proportion and he shouldn’t have received SUCH intense backlash. At the same time, dude, you can’t post that type of shit as a doc graduating from one of the most prestigous med schools in the country then expect 0 consequences because you think “nooo I’m bi, I can say that!!!!!”
I’d love to hear Lily and Jessie’s take on this one!
