i really dont think good old Yazoo is trying to 'diss' you here. he is just making a pragmatic point. if anyone is not truly enthusiastic about the prospect of spending 5 years at medical school, or the subsequent career path, then they should think long and hard before accepting a place.
nothing pisses of doctors more than colleagues who are lazy and couldn't care less.
nobody is accusing you of being such a person. it is just that you original comments on "enduring" life at medical school make it sound as if you are a bit unsure about things. If you are a bit unsure about the prospect of getting through medical school, it is only going to get worse after.
That is all, no personal digs going on, just pragmatism from the older members of the forum.
remember, only you know what you really think about these things. if you know deep down that you want to do medicine, then you dont need to worry about what other people say. but there is no harm in being aware of their opinions.
