It's been inspiring to read all the threads, it's really helping me to shape my thoughts about medical training. I'm a 30 year old clinical psychologist, married and hoping to start a family soon. How realistic would it be to start medical training in the next five years or so, with a potentially tiny baby (or two!)? I have a very supportive husband, but not much family close by. People have mentioned work experience - I work in a hospital with huge amounts of discussion and consultation with doctors - does that count? I would love to hear if others have made the leap from psychology to medicine and survived (not been snubbed for being too fluffy!).

Any thoughts/comments would be really appreciated.
