Now I know for sure why I never considered becoming a doctor. Had the nicest meeting with a friend who's just about to start her second year in medical school, and- Let me tell you, it's as bad as they say. Firstly, I'm not being in memorizing department. Oh sure, I can learn poems, definitions, formulas, even random pages of a book really quick (yay for my memory!), but I hate it. Just physically hate it. Memorizing is stupid. That's one.
Number two would be, I would thrown up if anyone tried showing me an actual arm of an actual person. Yes, the arm/leg/head alone. Skinned. Or cut in half (in case of the head).
Never, ever would consider med school.
