Medical School C/D

Go no further. Dud. Become a nurse instead.

Become a pharmacist!

dentist

congrats if this is abt you getting in
i mean what can anyone say, obv med school is going to be hard and a lot of work

Good luck - and congratulations if you got accepted!

From what I can tell, classic in terms of learning tons of cool stuff (I have a friend who just started - at age 38!), dud in terms of having time to do much other than study.

All I know is from House M.D. (which is not real, except to mymom-in-law who says 'it is real to me'):

CAMERON: No one ever has "staying awake contests"!
CHASE: Have you been to med school?

This is from the ep of the lesbian who would only sleep for like eight minutes and it turns out she had THE PLAGUE. ???

Agree with aimless. Dud, become a nurse.

Pharmacy is the way to go. Still a big shortage of them, get paid the big bucks and pretty much live wherever the hell you want, shorter schooling, internship/residency isn't the COMPLETE insanity it is in med school, and so on. Also, you're technically a doctor, even though no one really calls you one.

I worked in pharmacy for about a year (probably will again), and there was this engaged couple who were both pharmacists. Most of their free time seemed to be dedicated to figuring out how to spend their money fast enough.

But if you're set on going the doctor route, well good on you, congrats, etc.

Yes, I was accepted to medical school and am very excited but also weirdly anxious. Has anyone gone through the process and is not wearing rose-tinted glasses that can give me a genuine heads up?

Here is my impression of doctoring, having watched a good many in action:

You will become like unto a God, but a God with very little time to eat, sleep, or take a shower. You will learn tons of things, all of which you know ought to work much better than they do in fact, but no one will teach you why this is so. There will be very little room left in your brain for this sad knowledge to occupy, but it will sit there and make little pains from time to time.

You will have an answer for every complaint that a patient presents you with, and sometimes it will be a good answer. Your sense of satisfaction when something turns out the way it was supposed to and the patient imporoves will be very deep and pleasurable. You will often wonder if you do much good at all, but will tell almost no one about this.

Good luck.

i come from a family of medicine or however i should be phrasing that. they are very, very accomplished and i am forever in awe of what they do. but they work

ps aimless some ppl are docs and just normal dudes, neither unto Gods nor unto lifeless automatons

wtf do any of you actually know real doctors

Correction: You will become a normal dude.

It has always disturbed me a little bit that ppl are like "what do you want to do career-wise" and the answer is "med school." Shouldn't the more appropriate answer be "doctoring"?

I mean who cares if med school is C or D; it is a temporary means to an end.

Also, fuck off to the MD recently quoted as saying "it really bothers me when I'm referred to as a healthcare provider. I mean, I didn't go to provider school." STFU douchebag.

This is a trick question, isn't it.
