I want to go to medical school more than anything in the world. However I also have two children and a wife and i just hope that as a family we can make it through all of this because I am going to do it regaurdless. I have read a lot of scarry things on here but i am not going to let that discourage me. Anybody know anyone in medical school who has a family or have anything helpfull to say I would apreciate it.

“Graduation was all such a farce. The speaker talked of saving lives, excitement to be “real doctors,” etc. Meanwhile, everyone in our class is either ROAD, trapped in medicine by debt, extremely jaded & hating their life, or too dumb to notice the unending malaise that is clinical medicine.”

Brilliant.

Just found the site…love it! Graduated from medical school, literally yesterday. My thoughts are that I wish I could find one of those things in Men in Black where they zap your eyes & your memory from the last, oh say, 4 years is erased. I would just as soon forget all the unpaid labor and douchebag students/professors I’ve encountered. Graduation was all such a farce. The speaker talked of saving lives, excitement to be “real doctors,” etc. Meanwhile, everyone in our class is either ROAD, trapped in medicine by debt, extremely jaded & hating their life, or too dumb to notice the unending malaise that is clinical medicine.

@shining hector

any chance you’d be willing to share your experiences / reasons for buyer’s remorse? I think it would benefit a lot of us who are contemplating a career change into medicine.

thanks

Did Charity Doc write this?

Does anyone know what happened to him?
