go to medical school

yes i can

Natural Doctors get a bad rap or at least I am beginning to notice some of the challenges that a natural healer and lover face in todays society, but it is still possible to live a fullfilling lifestyle this way, and this is what I’ve chosen as my desired type of doctor. U never know… there is just so much to learn and so long of a lifetime to do it! I wonder if I’ll ever get to where I know my potential can lead me.

I feel like I have a plan for this at the moment, like it’s within my reach :)

by one med school in scotland. Not sure if its the right place for me, but its the only chance I have! Anyway, cant wait..just need to meet the requirements!

I called King’s today – and still no decision. All they said was that I’ll here from them either today (no such luck) or tomorrow (here’s hoping).

So yes, this is getting rather ridiculous, especially seeing as I have to notify UCAS about my final choices by next Tuesday. Argh.

I called them again today and found out that I’ve been unsuccessful – again. Oh well, I guess it’s Queen Mary, and then perhaps the post-grad route for me.

I got into Michigan and Cornell and I am having trouble deciding which to go to. Any suggestions or insight?

I’m not the typical medical school wanna be kid….I’m different in many ways and going to medical school is a big challenge for me… I drop out of high school twice earning a 19% average. I’m not smart, or intelligent or anything like that. All I am is determine because at 16 years old I went back to high school and made honor roll. I’ve never see anything through in my life…everything I do I stop then go back to it, high school I left then went back to it, college as I speak I’m taking the semester off, I volunteered at a church for 2years and stop then go back to it, I volunteered at a hospital, I stop and now I’m about to go back to it. I know this is a bad habit but the last time I’ve been committed to anything or see something through was when I was 8 years old and I was a road safety patrol. Though I’m working extremely hard to become a doctor (cardiologist) its seems like its a lifetime away, because last semester my GPA drop to 2.4. The thing about it is I did worst before because I move from a 1.1 GPA to a 3.75 in one semester but that was high school and now I’m in my second year of college heading for my third in the fall and everything I do seems like the impossible. My grandma suggest I should just settle and make her lots of great grand (I’m only 20), but in my life the things that are important to me are my family and education and nothing else …so I don’t know where’s my medical school rebound but I have a feeling I’m gonna get there.

I still haven’t heard back from King’s yet, which is super annoying especially seeing as we’ve got to make our final decisions by May 5th (?)

I also really need to start sorting out all my student loan stuff – so so stressful >.<

P.s. Medical schools can be so retarded. My friend Sarah got rejected from ALL her university choices – even though she’s a straight A student, and by As I mean all her As are 95 – 100%, she’s done lots of volunteering and work experience ans really wants to become a doctor, if people like her don’t get in, then there’s seriously no point. This is all so disheartening.

I got rejected fro St. Georges Med. School. Gah – and seriously, they’re not even that good. Jesus. Anywho’s I’m still waiting on King’s (let’s pray!!). And if I get rejected there too… well, I guess it’s the post-grad route for me… or maybe I can somehow persuade my parents to let me take a gap year – to grow as a person and all that… Hummm. I doubt it’ll work.

I have always wanted to become a doctor ever since I visited Pakistan. My relatives would always talk casually about how someone got paralyzed or died in pregnancy. I saw old men with leprosy sitting on the road begging. All sorts of stuff like that really bothered me and made me want to be a doctor. Besides the more ‘graphic’ sorts of illnesses, chronic disease was common also, especially diabetes. All my mom’s brothers were diabetic the last time I visited, and now she is diabetic too. It makes me sad; most Pakistanis just don’t have awareness of living a healthy lifestyle and often times they are too poor to care or afford it. Now I manage my mom’s Rxs and help her understand diabetes more. She has told a lot of her housewife friends to get tested because a lot of them are sluggish and fat…yup..they are diabetic too :-| You can guess, my two favorite specialties are Endocrinology and Ob/Gyn. I also like Ophthalmology.
