I know I'm going to regret bothering to get into this debate with you, but I will anyway. Yes, you were hard on her. It's jerky to post someone's stats from her MDApps and call her out because of them when she's asking an honest question.
She wasn't asking you; she was asking people who are working as EPs. You're two months into your M1 year. That means you have exactly two months more experience with medical school than she has, and you yourself have no idea how hard or easy most of medical school is going to be! And how do you know that being a physician is so hard? It's not like you've ever been one. What would you say if I told you that being a resident is easier than being a med student? Because in certain ways, it is. Since you like reading my blog, go back a few entries to the one where I talked about why my residency OB rotation was better than my med school OB rotation was, and there's an example. As another example, it's also nice to be paid for what you do rather than borrowing money and watching your debt go higher and higher.
I'm finding it funny that the people who are getting all bent out of shape about a pre-med asking why working overnights is harder than it seems are med students, but the people who are actually working this schedule aren't insulted by it.
Be that as it may, I'm done with derailing this thread. Feel free to PM me if you want to continue the discussion.
