clinical observation (even hours of it) is very different than actually doing it. I think NY's observation comes from going through medical school and seeing people (maybe even herself) change their minds from year 1 to year 3 (heck i've seen people change their minds from rotation to rotation!).
i don't think he is saying he know YOU, just the nature of medical school (which since he is about to graduate and you have yet to experience), which i believe he is in a better postion to judge.
i wouldn't have said not well thought out--you HAVE probably thought about it--just more like short sighted..you cannot say with absolute surety that you will not change your mind and to limit yourself from the get go is a bit short sighted...
