Hi, I'm just 1 year of going to med school and (this may sound stupid but) I feel like I will not be able to make it through. What I fear the most is the last two years (rotations and stuff). I just wanted to ask you guys for any advice you have in this matter. I like watching med tv shows and other med school documentaries (specially one called Doctors' Diaries in PBS). I don't know if this has affected my perspective of med school and has frustrated me. Please any help!?

The hard part is the first two years.

So, you guys are saying it's the other way around? I am soooo relieved to know that.

Pass your steps. Do good in your rotations. You will land on a primary care residency somewhere.

pathology is a bit hard but there's nothing worse than ANATOMY!
