I saw my friends in medical school seeming to be more engaged with the real world. That provoked a sort of jealousy, and I decided to go to medical school after all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was going to college to be a doctor.
Certainly when I got to medical school, I had role models of the kind of physicians I wanted to be. I had an uncle who, looking back, was probably not the most-educated physician around, but he carried it off so well.
My parents wanted me to be a doctor. So I took up science, but then realised that my heart was not in it at all. The thought of treating ailing people was very depressing.
I went to college, I went pre-med, I thought I was going to be a doctor.
When I went to the University, the medical school was the only place where one could hope to find the means to study life, its nature, its origins, and its ills.
I wish medical schools helped us to analyze our healthy and unhealthy reasons for becoming doctors.
Both my parents are doctors, so from the time I was a child, I wanted to do medicine.
If you want to get out of medicine the fullest enjoyment, be students all your lives.
Although I completed two years of internship in various small hospitals, I decided against continuing my medical training. I was much more fascinated by the unsolved problems of medicine than by practicing it.
I knew at university that medicine was just not for me. I saved many lives by not being a doctor!
