DO NOT go to MEDICAL SCHOOL (If This is You)

DO NOT go to medical school if you identify with these 4 factors. Med school is a long and arduous journey. If you're going to become a doctor because your parents want you to, if you don't like working with people, if you aren't ready to commit to the hard work for years on end, or if medicine isn't your main focus, then reconsider your decision.

Years later, when I was on the faculty of my old Med School one of my "duties" was to be on the Admissions committee. One of the very first questions I would ask the candidate was whether or not there were medical people in their families. If there were I always probed a little deeper and on occasion would discover your #1 reason not to be a Physician. Many of those candidates would express relief that they had been "found out" and the interview would shift its focus to what it was that the individual really wanted to do with their life. The one I remember most was a young man whose whole family were Physicians. Mother, Father, 2 Brothers and 1 Sister. Talk about pressure! Within a few minutes of the start of the interview It was pretty obvious that this guys heart was not into medicine. So I asked him point blank what it was that he really wanted to do. His answer... He wanted to be an Art Historian. So the rest of the interview was basically how to confront his parents with his decision and how he could best pursue his goal. Several months later I got a letter from this young man. He was enrolled in a Masters program in Art History at one of the better Universities on the East coast. His goal was to eventually get a PhD in the subject. I hope he made it.

I cried while reading the comments. Thank you to those people who left those uplifting comments! I'm still in my 3rd year of pre-med and I am not doing so well. It's so hard to learn in an online setting. It was nice to see people saying that high grades do not determine a good clinician. Like I said, I am currently not doing well in my third year of pre-med, I almost failed 4 subjects last semester and now I feel that I'm about to fail another set of subjects. Just the thought that these schools that I plan to apply for med might think to why the heck would I even bother applying to med school with those grades. Let's also take into consideration how in my country grades are important and they treat you based on what your grades are. It really scares me.

Im intelligent, dedicated and passionate. My problem is procrastination.

[forgetfulstranger]

I'm in my final year of medschool and let me tell you, medicine doesn't need smart people. Don't do it because you're smart or were told you're smart. We need passionate and dedicated people, who always want what's best for their patients.

My biggest mistake in life was telling my parents I want to be a doctor when I was little. They're doing all they can to push me into medicine, but my dream is to be a professional barista and a mead brewer. I brought it up once and they scoffed. IDK if I should give up on this dream.

[nwarrier]

I have no intention of going to medical school, I don’t know why I’m here.

But good luck to all those applying to med school. The world definitely needs more of you guys!

"2. Hating peop-"

Welp, bye med school

[lythuhang]

I was in a class that focused on Chemistry in my highschool, so entering a med school seemed to be an obvious route. Study hard to pass the exams to get in, then spend 7 years studying. The path was clear. Many of my seniors went that way. But I knew it wasn't for me. I lack the mental toughness to survive in med school. Even if somehow I manage to graduate, I won't be able to bear the stress of working as a doctor. I like jobs that allow me to have flexible hours of working and relaxing, and a mistake, albeit serious, won't kill anyone.

My heart was always set in psychology. But it wasn't until going through a spinal cord injury relearning everything neck down and going through intense self pursuit to get better physically mentally and spiritually that I was called to be a Neuropsychiatrist. Watching my mom lose her mental sense dying from cancer really pushed me to want to be more than a psychologist as I was telling the nurses the problems that were coming simply by listening and they didn't believe me until it happened. I even warned them she would die when she did and they where mind blown because I lived in a different state. No my mom taught me to be my own health advocate so in turn I studied health because of my injury. I asked God if he truly wanted me to do it then I'll be in college. Well I'll be getting ready to apply to medical school and I graduate with a bachelor's soon. The world needs people like me as doctors who've actually lived through much pain and treatments for the last twenty years. I'm determined because I know what's needed especially for women of my ethnicity! I just know it's my mission to heal. That's it that's all and if I can't heal then at least I can be there for them as they go through.

If you want to pursue anything in life, you'd have to want to do it for you. Not for anyone else.

summary of the video
1. your family forced you to go into medicine
2. you’re impatient with people
3. you are unable to work hard
4. medicine isn’t your focus and passion

I was a 3rd year medical student when I decided to quit medicine. It was hard because of social pressure and other reasons, but now I feel relieved. Your video confirms that I made the right choice.

[Owlette]

I felt number 4. I have an interest in other professionals which is making me stress out on deciding what career I want. I considered medicine because I like the label of being a doctor and having a high-professional job. But I don't like the idea of studying or working overtime in my career. The fact that I don't focus on medicine too much made me realize that maybe I'm not determined or dedicated enough to be a doctor. Hopefully, I will be able to find the right career for me.

Im just so afraid that my mental health is going to be extremly bad because of the pressure in med school :/

[yaramaraika]

I got D in my chemistry and now I’m finishing my last year to become a doctor. Just work hard and be patient if really want to be a doctor you would do what ever it take to do it

[chelsealevey]

I wanted to become a marine biologist my entire life, up until i lost my godmother to cancer. All of a sudden i wanted to become a doctor so i could cure cancer and stop anyone from experiencing the pain i experienced. After 4 years i’m now a sophomore in college and i’m really considering this and i don’t think it will make me happy. I made an emotional decision when i was only 15 because i was sad and angry. Now i’m 20 and i know that my godmother would want me to do what makes ME happy, and to live for myself. I’m currently on the pre med track but the pressure and the lifestyle is just too much for me i think. I’m not up and quitting just yet but i am heavily considering other career paths outside of medicine.

“Being a doctor is a special profession, for a special breed of person”. I’ve never felt so attacked and ‘unspecial’ before.
