"The "get rich quick" aspect of IB and the allure of Wall St, coupled with the reduction in net income of physicians due to increasing liability/malpractice insurance costs and lower payments from health insurance companies steered many of our best and brightest away from medical school and into B school."

I hate to burst your hubris buble here, but med school attracts a bright crop of students, but hardly the "best and brightest". Pre meds are typically fairly bright and enormously focused, driven and ruthless. Average MCAT scores of admitted students indicates the typical MD IQ of ~120 ish- well above average but hardly the "best and brightest".
