You Should NOT Go to Med School (Recess Rehash)

At least, not until you understand these IMPORTANT downsides

[We took a break for Thanksgiving, so here’s a rerun to enjoy! Happy Holidays!]

• Co-hosts Aline, Riley, Jacob, and Tracy discuss why they’d have reconsidered their desire to go to medical school…if only they’d known!
• Things like medical ‘hazing,’ the opportunity costs, and the heirarchical nature of medicine are all infuriating at times, and cause a sort of stress that can make students miserable. Forewarned is forearmed!
• Plus, listener John and his fiancé will be applying to medical school together. Is that even a good idea, and should they tell their schools about it?
