Afraid of going to med school! HELP!

[rob_garcia]

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!?

Hi I m a medical student i my first rotation! Dont let rotations keep you away! there's nothing scary about them. wht gets most people is first 2 years...so as long as u can get thru basic sciences, u will be fine Good luck!

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.

agree i'm on the 3rd and have just started clinics
pathology is a bit hard but there's nothing worse than ANATOMY!

TV shows have it pretty much wrong. I never see that nutty stuff in the hospitals.
