Hi, first year who failed anatomy here. Not sure what to do now or what happens next. I hear there's summer remediation, but what does this mean for my prospects going forward so far as residencies/etc. go?
I ask, because I'm debating a LOA. I told myself that if my performance led to more doors being closed than left open, then I'd try something different. I never had my heart set on being a doctor, and quite honestly, I wouldn't be a good one. I can't deal with volumes of information and cannot memorize lists of terms. I can pull a nervous system out of a centimeter-long mollusk and debate you intelligently on anything subjective, but I can't remember names of nerves and innervations to save my ****ing life.
And after shadowing, at the very least I knew I didn't want to be FP/GP/IM, so staying on with just the ability to do that would definitely inspire me to quit. Since I can't remember anything anatomy-related, I can't go being a surgeon now, can I? I didn't enjoy anatomy at all, either.
What do I do now? :\
