I am a reapplicant trying to update/rewrite parts of my personal statement. In the last cycle (my first one), for a small part of my personal statement I talked about how living in a rural and medically disadvantaged area affected my medical care since I have a physical disability. I mentioned that I struggled to form a trusting relationship with the doctors there but I never talked about anything negative they have specifically said or done. I did talk about how different the treatments and devices I was given there were from what I had when I lived in a place with better medical care.
Now that I am reapplying, I am worried if that sounded like I was bashing the medical community and possibly offending the readers.
I am in the the process of rewriting my personal statement and am wondering if I should mention that life was harder when I lived in that medically disadvantaged area? This ties in a lot with why I want to become a doctor since I personally experienced the importance of a strong doctor-patient relationship.
Also, if I change my personal statement to not include any of the above mentioned details, will the admission committee still look at my application poorly since they can see my old application?
