I understand that this doesn't fit into residency issues, but I'm looking for some serious answers here, so I figured I should go to the place where most of the people who are already fully qualified doctors post.
No pun intended for med students or anything.
I've got a passion for medicine, I really want to spend my life helping people. I want to go into the surgical area of medicine, but there's a rather large road block, I'm no good at science, also, the only science that ever really interested me was biology. Am I to understand in this that there is no hope for me becoming a surgeon?
I'm in the UK in my last year of actual high school, before I do 6th form where I drop all but the subjects required to access the courses I want in university, and at the moment I've got my first out of 2 GCSEs in Science, grade C.
Okay, I'm going sort of off track here, but the question I'm trying to ask is this, Do I have any chance of becoming a doctor at all if I'm not good at science? I suspect the answer is no, but there's no harm in hoping.
