  1. I am forced to ask, what motivates you to undertake such elaborate schemes of social assistance? I think you can get a pocket book published from all of this. I'd suggest the topic: The Medicine Panorama : It's not just a guideline, it's your lifeline. Get yours today for only 19.99 + SH and if you call now, you will get ... blah blah. lol ;p.
  2. I sincerely doubt that all this took you 3-4 hours. I'd do half a good job in 3-4 days. I must say you have some amazing coherent thought process. Guess will come handy when memorizing the amassing pathways in medical school. Great job!
  3. It's probably not true. Doctor are still perceived as humanly while celebrities are more like godly. Not for you or me, but "society on the whole". True to some by not many. As much as I want to become doctor given my preferences and life experiences, if I had the physique and the stamina, I couldn't resist the money, fame, and not to mention women a quaterback for the #1 team in the NFL can get. Sounds harsh, but true. If you say so, but my vote is still for Brad Pitt (Angie is to damn spicy...).
  4. I am probably making an ass of myself here (and no I am not having a period. I think only girls have them) but here it goes... I am just saying what's the deal here? Not all PhDs were once MD-wannabes and now that they are stuck with it, they must argue their value to society on par with doctors? The biggest mistakes all of MD hopefuls make is consider PhDs as back up plans. And that's where we get the preconceived impression that MD must be better than PhD. And do not consider money and prestige in the equation. Movie stars and athletes out beat doctors in both criteria. So does it make any sense to start a thread "Why Paris Hilton is considered more prestigious than Surgeon General of US?" Doctors get paid more, have more respect because as an average they have a greater impact on people's lives than researchers do. Out of the billions of dollars pumped into research only a fraction yields positive outcome (I am not saying we shouldn't spend, just pointing out a fact). I am passionate about becoming a doctor, but also have tremendous respect to guys who work their asses of without fame (No House PhD yet) and relatively less money. But they are happy doing what they do. Leave them alone. And if medicine is what you're reaaaaaallly passionate about then I wish you all the luck. But it's immature to compare the two fields. And lastly my sincerely apologies to those who think I am just bitter or looking to offend anyone. It's just that I have a different opinion to the majority of respondents. Auf Wiedersehen!
  5. The hierarchy between a MD and PhD are pointless. Both are important and complementary to each other so long the PhD has implication to health improvements (not literature, greek mythology). And who the hell cares if MD is an undergraduate, for all I care it could a f*ing diploma equivalent of an apprenticeship of dry-walling. People are too much overworked with bogus titles. If you want to do PhD (or can get the fcuk in medicine) then go do it. What's the deal with which one is better? It's really annoying, and immature. As undergraduate we can't even comprehend the level of drive and passion people have for research, and same goes for medicine. Now I wonder if 747 pilots are better than both doctor and researchers? (I guess I am overworked with my upcoming exam, pardon my jack-assness)
  6. And not to mention grad students party harder than med students and have a life beside their working hours.
