[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you her sibling or parent? Weird ps.   Anyway. I know you don't want to hear it but maybe medicine isn't  right for her, maybe she needs time off to grow up a little.  Sounds like she's been pampered a bit  and this is her first does of the real world.   Maybe part of the problem is you  and  her parents etc have always  fixed things for her. [/quote]

OP here. Thanks for the needless ad hominem – very original. Has it ever occurred to you that there are circumstances where parents are out of the picture, or literally no longer with us on this earth? I do not appreciate you trash-talking my sister. Or anyone for that matter. My request for input was earnest, and very clear.

To others – yes, you are correct, it is in fact two months in, not three. IM started in June.

Generally, however, thank you all for the detailed and context-aware responses. I'm in academia so I'm trying to figure out how to be a supportive brother given that, at least by comparison, my trajectory appears [to my sister, to be; but also objectively] plush. Research and publishing are their own sort of grind, but I do not anticipate being punched in the face at a conference while presenting a paper.

I’m not sure why I’m surprised you are a man! Thanks for being a great and thoughtful brother. [/quote]
