Miserable Med Students = Future Doctors?

The NY Times ran this interesting article today entitled 'The Misery of the Med Student'.

I have too much Ana-torture-me to get through to get into a detailed analysis of this article, so for now I'll leave you with lines that rang true for me.

  • "Given the fire hose of information medical students must learn in just four years, how does one ever gently take a sip?"
  • "I was about as miserable in medical school as I had ever been. I felt alone...and the last thing I wanted to do was to let anyone but my closest friends know just how unhappy I was. Success in medical school was the first step to a future of helping others, and I was not about to jeopardize that."
Happy Halloween!
