Many of those who left expected to just buy a degree and when they found they actually had to earn it they left! Allowing the voice of those who failed keep you from earning what you what for yourself is allowing them to rob you of yourself!

I don't know what you are saying here but lets get something straight. A number of people have asked the questions you claim to have asked couched in some special manner. The State Medical Boards in many states have said NO to any portion of the basic sciences being completed by any method other than direct instructor contact (i.e. the student is in the same room as the instructor). Even though some US and Canadian medical schools use podcasts, videoconferencing or broadcasting of lectures as is sometimes done in the WWAMI program, a number of State Medical Boards will consider IUHS program to be a form of online or distance education and NOT acceptable. You can argue "until the cows come home" but it will not change many of the State Medical Boards' attitudes. So what do you do? I suggest you stop trying to justify the IUHS way and look to meet the requirements as laid down by most State Medical Boards otherwise you will be spending a lot of money, have a MD degree (that is truly a mile deep considering the debt you will have), but nowhere or very few places to hang your shingle!
I wish you the best of luck. Don't hurt your head "hitting it against a brick wall" though. A_G
