I’ve watched literally thousands of premeds on their journey to medicine. Some are successful and some are not.

I came into medical school as a bachelor who was extremely pessimistic about any chance at love during those next 4 years. Mind you, this was the pre-Grey’s Anatomy years. I was well aware that I’d soon be buried in books and I knew I had to be on my A game from day 1. […]
