Medical school can be stressful for a variety of reasons. But not all these reasons are the same for everyone.
Some people can easily handle the increased workload. Some can easily carry the emotional baggage. It can look like some people are doing well. Then it turns out they’re the ones suffering the most.
As a medical student, you were likely at the top of your class most of your academic life. You entered wide-eyed, ready for another challenge. But when you’re placed in an environment in which everyone is at least on the same level as you, it feels like you weren’t that smart after all.
Suddenly you have these stacks of readings for the exam in a few days. With so much information to study in too little time, all your effort is focused on passing while your non-med friends are earning their salaries, getting married, and traveling.
Meanwhile, your classmates seem to be doing just fine. So why is it so hard for you?
Even after all that hard work, the day of the exam comes around and maybe you fail. It becomes disheartening to work for so much with little reward. But you don’t have time to wallow because the next exam is coming up, and it has more content than the last!
You suck it up and keep going because you can’t afford to fail. This goes on for 2-3 years in the classroom, and then you need to balance it with hospital work...
