[quote=Anonymous]Medicine has always been very unforgiving of drug or alcohol use which makes sense given that physicians have incredible access to drugs. What happened to this girl is not unique. The fact that she killed herself sadly supports medicine's decision not to train her. There are many people who attend medical school and can't complete residency training for a variety of reasons (addiction, financial, academic). They go on to use their MD without doing a residency (research, pharmaceutical work , etc). These people have table their dreams, shift directions and make it work. They don't decided to end it all. Also, given that she completed an internship year (first year of residency) means she was eligible to work as an attending MD in a variety of situations including working in the prison system. It may not have been her dream but she was definitely employable as a practicing physician. [/quote]
