What if you won the lottery and no longer had to work for a living, would you still attend med school? As much as I want to become a doctor the choice for me is easy. HELL NO!

I know that everybody says that they would still go to med school because they want to make a difference in peoples lives. However, I feel that I could make a greater difference by using my winnings to start charities, raise money for research, etc. I understand everyone's desire to help others but lets face it med school, residency and medicine in general takes a toll on an individual both mentally and physically. I would be willing to bet that if you asked most residents this question many of them would say they would leave the profession tomorrow. As for the ones that say they would stay I'm sure many of their attitudes would change once they got the money in hand.
