Physics isn't used in medicine!"<br><br>The professor paused, looked away for a second, then smiled and replied, "It most certainly does. It keeps kids like you out of medical school."<br><br>Bwhahahaha... Eh, but yeah, physics sucks, and I'm so glad to be done with it. I had to take the MCAT without any physics classes prior to it; learning physics on your own is a BITCH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183079457619148936.post-67977607722689292572006-06-07T05:25:00.000-04:002006-06-07T05:25:00.000-04:00If you're going to be the future Dr. House, I hope...If you're going to be the future Dr. House, I hope you're enrolled in Grumpy101.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183079457619148936.post-15110761803014821132006-06-07T11:38:00.000-04:002006-06-07T11:38:00.000-04:00frenchie: Touché.

I was in your shoes years ago...I didn't have fantastic grades, wasn't from a top name college (I am only presuming based on your previous post about C's in Chem and loathing of the 'braniacs' from Duke and Cornell) Hang in there--everyone who REALLY wants to go to medical school WILL go to medical school, it just may not be the route you intially intended. And don't be so down on the PA profession. If you truly love medicine, which you profess to, then this may be an attractive option if you are not a super stellar candidate for med school, even though it is still very difficult to get into PA school. You can still treat patients, often rather independently, and PA's have become quite a regular and respected fixture in both the academic and community medical communities these days. Not that I encourage this, but you may even be able to work for a few years and then go back to medical school if you still feel that desire. In fact, there were two former PAs in my medical school class (I was one of them).<br><br>But what do I know.....I'm just a "sucker" MD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183079457619148936.post-7380137948300504192006-06-09T18:16:00.000-04:002006-06-09T18:16:00.000-04:00I know how you feel...I'm going through the same t...I know how you feel...I'm going through the same thing as the moment.
