the comments on this thread, in large part, are much more considerate and positively advising towards the OP (compared to another post on a similar topic). i wish the best of luck too to the OP in getting back into medical school. keep your goals and wishes focused if medicine is your true passion. people undergo obstacles in life, stumble over them, but grow stronger, more wise and mature, and emotionally fortified after the experience. a wise and compassionate medical school should consider this. consider medical school, but if it doesn't work out, no sweat - you can try other health professions too related to medicine that may also involve patient care. you know, just keep options open
