I think the real problem lies with the "rugby boys." In general, I have nothing gainst them, by they do seem to take it upon themselves that they represent all medics. They are the most boozed up, egoistical bunch of people in the university and so they don't give the best impression. For many years the rugby types also ran med soc making it in to an extension of their boozing activities, but hopefully that will change.
And yes, some medics are incredibly selfish and thoughtless, but others are the kindest people you might expect to meet among students. The impression you give when you say you study medicine depends on you, not the profession, I expect.
In Birmingham there's also the mystery of the med school - it's on the other side of the canal from the rest of campus (shock!!), so non-medics rarely visit us (probably afraid of our security) and medics venture on to main campus still less. So of course, all sorts of myths can develop. But as an individual you can be friends with whoever.... as long as you're a friendly person.
