a lot of doctors dont have empathy especially to other doctors whom they cant identify with

It’s not about the money. Can u afford to waste your time if you don’t have either the genuine interest or aptitude in medicine?

Take my case for eg my surgeon parents forced me to study med. in the end I failed two years and ended up dropping out of Newcastle fourth year med.

Switched to my real interest: law, and managed to get first class honours from ucl law. Now doing a TC at Milbank after finishing my LLM at Harvard

I tell this to all people follow your real interests don’t do med just because of parents ( in my case) or for money. U will sure fail 100%
