medical school

I'm taking the other route, where you do any undergraduate (literally any, I did a bachelor of philosophy/bachelor of theology) and then take this ridiculous gamsat test.

that's roughly the process here in the US as well. I was an English major and did ultimately have to go back for some post-baccalaureate classes in order to qualify for admission

i love...parts of my job. the US healthcare system is pretty busted and that can lead to a lot of indirect moral injury if you're not careful (eg my clinic is so short-staffed, and my patient panel so large, that there have been times that the soonest follow-up appointment I can get someone is months out. this is Not Great for when someone is in crisis). but ultimately very rewarding, yes. do i sometimes think that i should have been an electrician? also yes

Combine careers. Go into surgeries in a jumpsuit and explain loudly why the previous electrician really fucked up the cables and didn't know what they were doing as you blare loud music of some sort from your iPhone, all while the surgical team are anxiously waiting for you to fix the issue with the essential piece of equipment for the ten-hour procedure that stopped working halfway through.

hmmmm yknow maybe not

Lol Ned. Sorry to hear about that. The US healthcare system does give me the heebie jeebies but glad to know there's doctors that care working in it

Test finished, now the painful 2 month wait for results......

good luck! these exams, and the wait for the results, are always excruciating. and if it’s anything like the US, there will be another 2-3 tests with similar stakes. it does get better eventually!

Thank you! I have no patience so these two months will be painful. Just this one and then an interview and we get into med school! Obviously that's where it REALLY begins. You're Dr.'ing? Or just in the know?

I am doctoring!

Got my marks back. I should be starting med school next year :)

They just let anyone in these days!

way to go!!

Thanks Kevin!
