My DS graduated from med school in 2019 and knew some kids who went the military route. Did you know that they can’t necessarily choose their residency path? It depends what the military needs at the time.

Weird post. I am not sure how you concluded parents support means not fit for a doc?

+1. My kid is training in how to find your cancer, not in how to shop around for the cheapest ramen

+2. One of the best doctors I know doesn't know how to do laundry, because his doctor parents paid for laundry service in college/ med school, so he could focus on school (and of course paid his tuition and rent, because they could well afford it). Tons of doctors who made it into the profession BECAUSE their families supported them for a long time.
