Thank you. Your remarks are simply more of the same. To me its noise because I know what my abilities are. I don't need to be baby sat like others. Indeed, this is a matter of maturity, self-confidence, persistence, and fitness to be a physician.

My suggestion is that if others want to go elsewhere, they should because they will encounter rough waters any where, either in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Carribbean,...any where, at any school. Again, the problem lies in the person, not outside.

St. James provides the road. Students place their own boulders on the road themselves. If people cannot make it through St. James, they will not make it anywhere or will definitely encounter situations later in their career that will be their demise. Medicine demands independent learning and self-pursuit.

Please transfer out if you don't like, can't take it, and want to continue to complain about it, or choose another profession, as this is NOT the one for you! Please move on to another board or suck it up and become a man.

St. James graduates that I know are generally content and proceeding fine.

The right stuff comes from within and not from the outside or the school. Those who think alternatively are hiding their own deficiencies.

Good luck elsewhere. You and others may need it, as it reflects in your mental state, not in the school or any other school.
