I just turned 34 and I am scared ****less. Scared of more debt incurred. Scared of never finding the time to find true love. Scared of losing friends. Scared of losing family members. Scared of not finishing med school before it even begins. I have these chronic neuroses that I grapple with on a daily basis to manage. Today I would like to declare that I will take the MCAT December 2015. Precisely I have 1000 hours to cram science courses I learned 10 years ago. I didn't do so hot in undergrad science though biology was my major . Currently I'm in a MPH program with a 3.75 GPA and currently working full-time. Why even attempt to be a doctor? I don't know. I have been flirting with that idea for so long. I keep thinking about it. I dream about it asleep or awake. After my MPH, I know that the primary care route is what I want to take. I deal with a lot of policies. I support grassroots efforts of rural hospital policy development and I just know there's a lot to be improved in managing our care. It will always be messy. We need both strategic policy makers and clinicians to voice out what needs to happen on the actual, everyday level of care.
I thought I should share my thoughts in hopes that it helps someone in the same boat as me. I will be 36 or 37 when I begin.
