I chose to take trig based physics, under the impression that it would be easier than calculus based. Boy was I wrong. Memorizing equations sucks. Why do that when I can integrate a function in like 2 seconds and generate a solution? I made that decision. However, thanks to my professor, I am gaining a very detailed, sometimes annoyingly so, conceptual education in physics. I am actually quite decent at it. However, your post, and those of others suggests that someone who has not had calculus and calc based physics is somehow loosing out, terribly, and is less qualified for medical school and even life, than someone who took the sequence in question. That's off-putting.I have extremely varying interests and love to learn about all sorts of things but I think that people are a little confused as to why you are arguing against studying physics in more detail when there is an option. For med school prerequisites, you're still going to take a year of psychics, so why not take the series that is clearly more beneficial? If you cannot be bothered with the extra effort personally, that is understandable but I cannot understand arguing it as the better option.
