Nursing student opens bacteria-filled petri dish in classmate's face, 23-year-old classmate gets sick 4 days later, debates reporting her to professor and getting her kicked out of the program: 'No one this incompetent should be providing medical care'

With AI taking over the world we've always worried about our future doctors and nurses…Can we trust a robot to do such risky and delicate work?

But even without AI, there are certain types of people training to practice medicine, who still leave us with a simmering worry about the future of our healthcare systems…What are the special character traits that makes someone a reliable doctor or nurse…We assume they are qualities such as: precision, attention to detail, professionalism and critical thinking. 

Pretty obvious right?…Mmmm we're not quite sure!

When this irresponsible medical student plays the role of class clown, deciding to shove a petri dish full of bacteria near her classmate's face, her classmate is convinced that the illness she receives 4 days later is a result of the student's incompetence and inability to follow safety precautions. As a result she is conflicted between addressing the issue with her professors or keeping it to herself…

But after realizing that she has not only carried this student through assignments and group work, but also tolerated her irresponsible behavior patterns in the classroom, it would be a disservice to any of her future patients to allow someone who lacks such a basic level of professionalism, to treat them and potentially put their lives at risk…
