In this thread: preclinical students saying that medicine is not mentally stimulating using preclinical years as their basis of judgment, whining about clinical vignettes when that's how step one asks questions, crying about having to know facts as if you could practice medicine without knowing a million little facts and being able to integrate them, being surprised that the study of the human body actually involves learning about the human body, thinking that their school should cater to step one as if their careers are about taking a multiple choice test rather than taking care of patients.
What were you planning on doing if you saw one of those "obscure diseases" in real life? "Oh sorry Bill, your rare disease was low yield in medical school and not on step one so I decided not to learn it."
If you weren't planning on working hard and learning about medicine then just drop out and go to np school. I have a lot of complaints about how medical school is set up but it's funny how students with thirty days in medical school think they know more than their teachers who have been teaching medical students for thirty years
