[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am one of the "weeded out" Duke undergrads who dropped pre-med.  Wow you guys are harsh!  Honestly, I struggled with depression in college and was unhappy at Duke and was even more miserable in pre med courses and did poorly.  ...[/quote]

So, you couldn't do premed courses because those courses are "harder" @ Duke? Maybe med school wasn't meant to be. [/quote]

That's what I heard from other students.  I'm sure you are at the tippy-top at your career, though, pp, DCUM posters putting down others always are.   :roll: [/quote]

The reality is that the U.S. system for educating and training doctors is hellish.

People who have problems with depression or anxiety should probably not try to become doctors in the United States. If they really want to get into health care, maybe they should consider becoming nurses, or medical technologists.[/quote]

Nursing or med tech is better for people with depression or anxiety?!?!

Have you actually ever visited a hospital???[/quote]

Nursing at a hospital is a very very hard job.

Nursing at, say, a dermatologists or pediatricians office is probably not so bad. [/quote]
