Patty,
Medical students don't stop doing well because they're uncommitted, if that were the case they wouldn't last the first block. They stop achieving the A's that they're used to because it's an insane amount of information, and an inhumane program of study.
The wide-sweeping generalizations about doctors that intermittently appear here are perhaps predictable because many members have had bad experiences, but these posts seem to come from the most intelligent members and that I fail to understand. Surely you know better than to tar all doctors with the same brush?
I've seen it from most angles. Patient mostly, also doctors in the family, but most of all my friends, many of whom went on to become docs. I've held fretting hands and sat for long hours listening troubles as they've battle through the torture of med school.
As it happens I've been lucky enough to have a fantastic team of committed medical professionals battling to keep me well, there's good and bad in every profession, teaching included.
Please, no more ‘all docs are bad’ generalisations from anyone, it’s unreasonable and it's unfair.
