Who cares what the OP does. Stay or go. I could hardly care. There are risks and rewards to both paths. Obviously PE is significantly more risky, especially given the new regulatory environment we are in. I doubt that any shop would offer $250k to someone who doesn't already have experience when there are so many other qualified unemployed bankers looking for work right now. I had a high paying job prior to med school so I know how to relate. Unless you already worked in finance and are willing to take the risks, I would just stick it out in medicine. Don't do it because you want to impress anyone with your new job. You may regret that decision later.
