It's not that I hate medicine or don't think anyone should go to medical school. Just that I would have made a different cost-benefit analysis for *myself* if I had known that the costs would be this high.

From my experience, that's true for some people and not for others. Either way, don't be too quick to be smug. Even if you're right in my case, and I sincerely hope you are, it's easy to blow off the magnitude of the costs when they're being experienced by someone else and not you.
