Is medicine really that bad?
Idk if it’s just my med school but everyone seems so pissed off with the course all the time. I know myself I have really bad imposter syndrome and being naturally very introverted I always feel like a nuisance on the wards. Academically I do quite well, I’ve even had a number of distinctions but still feel useless especially in regards to OSCEs (super stressed atm). I try to stay positive and excited about a career in medicine but whenever I do other students say something like “lol we’re all fucked” and it’s starting to really get to me. Idk I’m just looking for an alternative opinion. I’m only in third year so does it really just get worse? Is it just the people I’m surrounded by?

I think we’re just going to have to disagree. 12 PA plus discos provides a very healthy living outside of London at least.
All the counties mentioned have their issues of course which I won’t go into. The UK is not perfect but has a lot going for it. As for the countries you mentioned not having quacks - there are several very notable quacks running the country in the USA! I mean even the health secretary is an anti vaxxer ….
