> I also overheard a number of stories about pre-med students intentionally sabotaging other students by misleading them to think that private group tutoring sessions (to study for the MCAT) had been canceled.

These aren't rumors.

Pre-meds hate other pre-meds and are conditioned to play a zero sum game against one another.

We then expect them to completely flip their attitude and become teams players. Collaborate with other medical professionals (former pre-meds), nurses and social workers.

No wonder healthcare is so dysfunctional.
