So are you still going to go then?

[jgauger]

Everyone is arguing over the impact of this bill. A lot of people are saying that its a bad idea to go into medicine once this passes. Someone brought this up in one of the other threads so there might as well be a poll, are you still going to go to medical school? I will gladly take any of your acceptances.

Like I've said this will be at most a mitigated hit. Physicians might get a reduction, but I'm thinking that there's a possibility that we might actually have a increase in Med school spots as well as a decrease in tuition. < Optimistic speculations of course>

I'm going to law school.

I don't want to graduate with debt, matched only by that of the US gov't, and earning $40K/yr. This WILL happen for docs effective tomorrow..

 

[jgauger]

I'm surprised two people have said no...why are you still here?

 

[guyski79]

Lolz at the people who answered no.

Yeah. Right.

I like your sarcasm

 

[jgauger]

For those of you saying no, what are you going to do instead?

Sarcasm is hard to detect on the internet. Please tell me this is sarcasm.

rofl i actually laughed at that one. its still too early for us as undergrats to tell anything. we should atleast wait for the bill to get bounced around for a bit.

 

[Sesom]

I am NOT going to be a doctor now! I am going to get a job shoveling poo! That would pay me better then what physicians get paid when this garbage is passed!sarcasm smiley doesn't work at my job

 

[Skyrockavatar]

Afte going through with Orgahellll....anyone would be stupid to turn back now

 

[Premeddie]

I haven't been through the whole process, but I'm pretty sure there are tons of things way harder/worse things than orgo, standing between orgo and and MD

 

[CaliGirl14]

Stayin'.

So much trouble over four letter additions to your name. A "D" and and "R" in front, and a "M" and a "D" in the back.

 

[jgauger]

Haha. These results are exactly what I expected. I would really like the people who said no to discuss their alternatives. I'm actually guessing that the No's are actually more like probably's.

 

[wilsonlaguna]

I think the majority of responses will be "Yes," this is a medical forum.

But, to bring up something not covered by many places, I think more physicians will split their time between their practice and some other side-project. I know I will if the salary forecast is negative (which I sincerely don't think it will be).

It's not that I am greedy, but I would like to be able to afford for my child to get a better start than I did. I don't plan on having her pay her way through school and incurring hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt if she decides to get a doctorate in something.

 

[roseglass6370]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL at the "no" responders.

Please, switch off the pre-med track now and make some more room for those of us applying next cycle. Woo hoo!!

 

[scalab]

I am. I'm gonna try to steer my career path toward business. It just sucks because I just shadowed all these doctors at a very prominent hospital. I still might apply but I'm going to try to take more business courses. I'm definitely getting a job after I graduate instead of going straight to med school. I'll decide then.

 

[Iaka]

The 'no' people will still apply... and then lie during their interviews about how the really do care about people and truly do want to help them....

 

[jturkel]

dual degree....MD..then an MBA. maybe hospital administration
