“i feel stupid multiple times a day and i want to punch my resident in the face”
“I liked the first two years of med school, but then it was downhill from there”
“Basically finishing my fourth year at Pritzker, UChicago. And am going to quit”
“i want to quit so badly, but the loans scare me so much.”
“I have just completed my first year of medical school, and I am quitting”
“I feel relieved, I’m now free to do whatever else I want, to explore, to spend time with family, friends, and to start building a life instead of burying myself in debt and spending the majority of my 20s in a library.”
“Med school has turned me into an extremely anxious and depressed person, when I used to be such a smiley optimist”
“I hate the fact that i’m too afraid to quit right now. My heart is not in it.”
“I live for weekends off and vacations. I hate that. I feel like I’m wishing my life away.”
“I’ve got a taste of life out school and I don’t want to ever feel trapped gain. It takes more courage to leave med school than to suck it up.”

My grandpa was a small town doctor for many years. He said medical school sucked in the '50s. Medical school sucked then, and it sucks now. My first cousin finished her residency a few years ago and still has $200k in debt. It could be worse, you could be a lawyer with massive education debt. (:

lol, I love that post. It's so true. Just when kids think the process is over, you know, the type who say : " the hardest part about medical school is getting in", reality sets in.
Residency is worse than medical school..and out in private practice land, you still have these issues, and ALL of the responsibility. Medicine is no cake walk, and the price of admission keeps climbing exponentially..
"want to punch my resident in the face", ROFL

Residency was hands down worse than anything I had to endure since Kindergarten. Internship was literally the worst year of my life. I still suffer from post traumatic stress disorder because of it.
