Your posts reflect (by your own admission and words) that you are not at a point, at this time, where you would be able to handle 1.) the academic rigor and stress of a ph.d program 2.) the stress and proper judgment needed when seeing patients. YOU are the one who has shouted this from the rooftops with your description of yourself, did you not? Again, whats the problem? Your question was answered.
