re: Is school more stressful than the workforce?

How about if you fail a test you lose $40,000 and a year of future earnings having to repeat an entire year of courseload? How about even if you pass your tests, your school can still decide to hold you back because a C may be conditional and they set the conditions?

Because that's what it is like in medical school. It doesn't get any easier once you graduate medical school, but being in medical school is the most stressful thing I've ever done, and I've had a full time job before.

And spare me that, "oh it's your choice to go to medical school though!". Yeah, and it's your choice to go to work every day.

That shouldn't bother you. What should bother you is that you'll be woefully equipped to practice medicine after you get that MD.


Medical errors are the third leading cause of death. So, you're right behind cardiovascular disease and cancer. Rolling with the big boys.

No pressure though. Sleep tight.
