I wasn't necessarily speaking to just you. There have been several posts lately from people complaining about re-applying. My post was more directed at that group of people.
If people want to roll the dice with a minimally "improved" second application, that's fine. Here's an example of it working out. But you cannot make the argument that a few rec letters and a handful of shadowing hours is even on the same level as full-time healthcare job. Its not just about making yourself look good on paper; It's an opportunity to grow as a human being.
I personally would do more and mitigate the risk as much as possible if I were in that situation.
