I heard from my friend that AMCAS asks how one got discharged from the military now. He said he got discharged with "general." I feel he can't get into med school now. I can't be sure. What do you guys think?

I know this because most jobs that ask for the type of discharge doesn't hire anyone that got other than "honorable"

Speak only of that which you know.....I received a general discharge for medical reasons and it has never been an issue with finding employment.

It does if you got kicked out for disciplinary action.

Yeah, you're being out on a medical is different than someone that gets out for screwing up. I know a guy that got too many DUI's, so he got booted with a general. They didn't give him a Big Chicken Dinner because, other than the DUI's, he was a good to go dude...
