Sounds like you were experiencing burn out already. Smh at least you're happy now. But maybe you gave up too easily.

The medical field is one of those industries you can't get into just for the money or privileges. You gotta have the passion for it and a real deep desire (and the brains!). That field is so freaking demanding and draining you can only do it if you have a deep devotion for it. I personally could never. I also feel that medical professionals should go to school for free, they should be paid to get into that field. The fact that you have to pretty much sign your personal life and mental health away to be doctor or nurse and on top of that graduate owing an obscene amount of money is outrageous to me; especially considering how essential these professionals are.

People outside of medicine can’t really imagine why someone would quit or have regrets about being in the medical field. I have been a physician for many years now, and I definitely have my regrets at times. The amount of personal sacrifice, lost time, working holidays and weekends, and financial debt acquired takes a toll. Once you graduate medical school you really have to work as a physician because it is hard to find another career that pays enough to pay off student loans. I am not saying “don’t become a physician “ but I would caution anyone that it is not the lifestyle you think it will be.

Facts. If you’re not a doc, you don’t get it. It’s so hard as a doc to get any validation from non docs, especially family (who probably pushed you into medicine and now can’t stop bragging). I hate how all the doctor tv shows and movies are all propaganda. I should have seen that an industry spending millions to create an image of itself is sus. I’m 2 years out of training, and my wife (also a doc) and I decided PGY3 that we’re getting out as soon as we can. Abuse in resdiency was one thing, but the business side of an attending is just different and even more degrades the human aspect. Especially with the looming private equity bozos enticing the old partners with buyouts while the young ones doing all the work get wrecked.

How much work/stressful is your job?

I am a 4th year medical student in a 5year program and I can tell anybody for a fact that passion alone could not have kept me in medical school. Talking about passion, my dad was a lab tech and my mom is a nurse so I grew up seeing medical stuffs at a very tender age and I was so intrigued. I fell in love but when I started my first year and I was so off, didn't know how to study that much material in such a limited time and feeling disappointed because I wasn't on my usual A game, I almost gave up but looking back I can vividly see that every time I got frustrated and drained and lifeless, God gave me a spark. He filled me up just enough to take me through another cycle. He reminds me why he placed me on this path so I applaud you for listening to the voice of God and may your story not only encourage young believers to listen to God when its to quit but also when its to persevere. Thank you for sharing.

“Why did God allow me to get in medical school ?” God doesn’t force us to follow the plan He has for us because He is gentle (Matthew 11:29). He allows us to see the plans we created are not His (Jeremiah 29:11). And once we said yes to His way He’s there with open arms.❤️ The beautiful thing about God is He already planned a way out for when we don’t stick to His plan. You’re on the right path continue to trust in Him. Thank you for sharing your journey!

As a med student myself, I appreciate her honesty. The part about passion is 100% true. Money is not enough of a reason to pursue a career in this profession. I have come to realize that. Takes courage to make a decision like this so kudos to her.

Thank you for sharing your experiences! I’m currently a 3rd year med student about to start rotation in August and studying for Step 1. The amount of stress, anxiety, and panic attacks I’ve had during med school ESPECIALLY studying for boards is outrageous. Med school is no joke, it’s a long marathon so I completely understand where you’re coming from. There were so many red flags that med school was not the path for you and I’m glad you sought the Lord’s advice. If it’s God’s will for you to drop out then let it be. He has plans to prosper you not to harm you, plans for hope and a future. His will for our lives is much better than any plan of ours, so wait on Him and trust His guidance. If He can feed the crows everyday on Earth then imagine how much more He can and will do for you. I wish you the best with your endeavors and May God bless all of your projects.

Hey, I'm a fellow M3! Also starting my rotations next month, and recently found out I passed Step 1! But tbh, medical school for me created so much stress in my life. It wreaked havoc on not only my mental health, but my physical health as well. I felt too busy to go to the gym or prep healthy meals, and quickly began gaining weight. I've put on like 40lbs, no joke. I stopped making time to date people, and basically put my social life on hold. Also, my periods became so irregular because of all my stress studying for exams. I had a panic attack the night before step 1, and had to pay $150 to delay my exam by ONE day just so I could calm myself down. It was a nightmare. Yet, I still know this is the path for me. I have to learn to cope with the stressors in a healthier way, because I absolutely cannot see myself doing any other job for the rest of my life. Good luck with Step 1 :)

This actually makes me think about the stories of those who did really poorly in their undergrad/failed the MCAT, but because of their passion they were still able to get into medical school and finish their MD.

I’m in my junior year and have to do everything in these last two years so I’m a little frustrated because of my lack of information.

@@kendramorancy4893 please hold on Kendra. This might just be the turning point. It takes a woman about nine months to birth a child. Imagine after all that effort put through and suddenly in labor, something wrong happens. It would be labor in vain. Even the Israelites had to go through a lot to get to the promise land. Imagine the different challenges they went through right from Egypt. Hold on Kendra. Sometimes just when God wants to answer our prayers, the devil does a lot to abort or steal out blessings. But you won't let that happen, you will go into full prayer mode, you will depend on his word the bible, you will fast, you will trust in the Lord your God, Kendra you will finish up that degree. And that is a declaration!!!

Nursing student here and thought really hard about getting a PsyD and opening up my own practice some day, but those loans are something serious!

Some people commenting on this video really don't seem to understand that passion CANNOT overcome burnout or even prevent mental health issues. I'm not in medical school, but I am in PT school, and every day I am grateful I chose the flex route because I likely would have dropped out had I chosen the residential route. I crave balance in my life, and I don't think having this desire makes one somehow less passionate for the thing they're pursuing. It's just, if you're only ever a one-trick pony, you are inevitably going to crash and burn. No amount of love or desire for something can prevent this. This is like saying you will put up with anything and everything with your SO because you love them so much and are so passionate about your relationship with them. I don't know what the solution is, but for me it was choosing to spend an extra year in school while being able to have time to do everything I else I enjoy doing to make me a more balanced, well-rounded person who will have the energy to give when she graduates. I won't be burned out from the get-go.

agree.. most doctors I met did not go for passion but for money and the Dr. name.. Most i've met are grumpy, don't know what they are talking about and walk around like they are better than people... very annoying. I have been to the ER many times and have been told outrageous things. Even by nurses.. I question why the medical field think it's okay to tell people whatever they want. It is not passion, or care... always aggression..

Thanks for sharing! I have a very similar story (introverted, didn’t participate in premed orgs, didn’t volunteer). I planned to get more involved and then the pandemic hit. I have a cousin my age in nursing and hearing her stories made me question medicine. But I still finished all the prerequisites. I planned to finish my Masters degree in Health Education during my gap year. I knew I needed to volunteer, work, study for the MCAT & most importantly find my passion. I worked remotely in the summer (and I LOVED IT OMG) but then the job ended. It was the work life balance I was looking for. I had the time to pursue my hobbies, travel, vlog, hit the gym, cook etc. Then I found a full time job as a program coordinator at a health clinic. I desperately missed remote work. I determined that medicine was not for me (my parents were heartbroken lol). I prayed about it and turned to God. Then, I researched all potential career directions. I learned about the world of technology & how vast it was (ux design (great for psychology majors btw), cybersecurity, project management etc). Plus you can work in different industries like healthcare, finance, business. Not to mention great pay & remote. I just enrolled in a bootcamp and now looking forward to a new job in 2023. Wishing you the best on your journey! 🙏🏾

I really appreciate your video! I just applied and down deep I’m worried that it’s not going to be what I’ve dreamt it to be. It’s always disheartening when you work so hard to get somewhere and when you get there it doesn’t fulfill you like it should. I don’t want to be in position where I just thug it out because I’m already there or I’m afraid of change because I lowkey been doing that my whole life. So thank you for posting this because you made me feel like I’m allowed to change my mind if I feel in my spirit that it’s not meant for me.

If you would really encourage you to do a lot of soul searching before accepting any offers from schools, especially if you're a US student. If your heart isn't fully in medicine, don't make yourself suffer through all the stress and financial burden. It's okay to take a gap year (or a few) to figure things out :)

Love that you're honest about your walk with God ❤️❤️

Definitely right about praying about it! Glad you have peace over your decision

This video really hit home for me a lot. I followed the bio premed track as well and by the time I finished my junior year of college I knew deep down medicine in that capacity just was not for me. Thankfully I had parents that didn’t pressure me and allowed me to take a year off after I graduated to find something I was really passionate about and that’s how I started my career as a Medical Laboratory Scientist! I absolutely love my job. I was always more fascinated with the how’s and the different lab testing that led to diagnosing the patient and I’m thankful to have found the career. Big ups to you for sharing and being transparent and hopefully inspiring others to follow their heart. Wishing you nothing but the best in all your future endeavors 💗

I’m soooo happy I came across your page!! This video is so relatable. I recently went through a similar thing however I wanted to be a nurse and I started to lose my passion for it. I became very depressed and I leaned on God so he could tell me which way to go because Atp i had no idea. He revealed to me that my purpose is to have a nonprofit. I have no clue how that’s going to happen but I’m just walking the path he has laid out for me. Literally walking by faith and excited to see how his glory will show! Thank you so much for sharing this is very relatable! God bless your journey!

I really see a different and genuine, softer, and humble side of you with this one. God's got your back!

Thank you Brit for this video. You spoke on something so many ppl feel. I currently work In the medical field and I know in my heart this isn’t where I’m supposed to be but afraid to leave . You inspire me to be happy in life. Money ain’t everything .

Your story is scarily close to mine. I was going straight down the doctor and pa route. But I knew it was not really for me. So I ended up going to phlebotomy school because I needed to get some experience for the medical field while I continued to take my medical school prerequisites. Anyway, I was in anatomy and physiology one day and I decided to drop out of school and pursue phlebotomy full time after graduating from the program. it was really scary, and when I told my parents they threatened to kick me out of the house unless I got a job. But now, I found one and I could not be happier. I am so glad that you took what your dad said about social media and decided to get your Master's. As the current moment as I work on my business and work in phlebotomy, I cannot see the full path. But all I know is that I am the happiest I have ever been even on my bad days.

I really think the signs were there a long time ago. Sometimes we get so focused on the goal we have in our minds, we forget to ask ourselves if we really even want it. Better to leave early than tough it out and become a doctor that is unhappy. You deserve to do the things that you want. I hope you get the support you need in this journey.

Keep walking in faith! God clearly has you on the path you are meant to be on. Like you said… even though med school wasn’t for you, it was a path towards your gap year which lead to your passion. Best of luck in your future!

Thank you for sharing your story! I'll echo what the other physicians in the chat have stated in people needing to know what it is that they want. Walking into medicine thinking just money is the wrong mindset. It takes a lot of time, sacrifice and pain. I've been very honest with my mentees and others interested in the field to help them understand, but sometimes you don't know until you're in the thick of it.

that cadaver lab is intense. I felt so many emotions in lab during nursing school & even cried on our last day of lab I felt gratitude towards the person & their family for their service. It was life changing for sure

I relate heavily. I've been through that. 😭😭😭 Girl, the part about being uncertain about your future! That's me. I'm just taking it one day at a time and trusting God.

your journey to medical school is almost identical to mine. When you said you wanted to be a triple threat, I cracked up. I remember being like 10 thinking I was gonna be the next Beyonce and a journalist. I recently finished my third year of medical school and about to take STEP 2. I've never had anxiety attacks until this year and I gained 30 lbs. I decided to take a year off to take care of myself and figure out if this is for me. Thank you for sharing your story and being open and honest. God's got you covered!

I have been encouraged by your story. Yes, God truly will reveal His path & timing to you. Thank you

I don’t typically comment on videos let alone sit through a whole video of this nature, but thank you for opening the eyes of people who are set on just going to med school because they got in not because they’re passionate about medicine. God is always by your side and leads you in the right direction. Good video!

Thank you for posting this, I resonate with your story heavily. I already had a career and I loved it so much and I was told I could do more and I should go back to school and I was like meh I’m okay I’m happy! Well then I had a flux of people tell me I wouldn’t make it anyway if I tried. so I decided to go for it and prove them all wrong so I decided to go to college at 22 years old and worked 2 full time jobs while I finished my undergraduate in biology (getting all A’s and B’s) then I moved across the country to finish my bachelors of animal science in the school I thought wanted to go to vet school in. once I got there I started feeling so much regret and feelings of why the heck am I even here? do I even want this? So I asked god about it (I’m 26 at this point) I prayed and prayed and prayed and it was clear to me that vet school wasn’t in my path God had set for me I didn’t take this lightly because I was the first person in my family to go to college and it feels like everyone’s counting on me it was so stressful I had family not understanding that they shouldn’t call me doctor because I wasn’t a doctor so every time they saw me the would ask “how’s doctor baylie” “doctor baylie” it made me cringe it was unsettling and so it was very hard to come up terms that I wasn’t even going to apply or go to vet school, but at that point I was saying to myself well I need to finish SOMETHING I didn’t spend all this time and stress in school for nothing, so I started planning out how I should just finish up my bachelors degree, I thought to myself well I’ll just finish my degree in animal science and call it good….I started hating animal science, it became so difficult and hard to retain the information I started thinking of what I could even do with a BS in animal science and all the jobs paid the same as what my previous career was (that I was and still am passionate about) I contemplated all the majors I could switch to and I had no motivation for any of them I was so lost. I got down on my knees repented and prayed I balled my eyes out god made it clear to me I needed to drop out even if I don’t finish anything because he did not want me on this path the reason? Well I was doing this to prove people wrong I was doing this out of pride I came to terms with it and I felt my whole body relax it was surreal.

Thank you for sharing. People get offend when you tell them it is okay to realize a job is not for you.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and I am glad you are one step closer to being on the path that's right for you! As a medical student, i get that it's not for everybody. key red flags that medicine may not be a right fit are 1. a dislike of learning/lifelong education (even as a doctor you will always have to learn and take standardized exams) 2. dislike of routine- medicine can be exciting but every specialty has its bread and butter cases that represent majority of patient visits 3. wanting to make money- some doctors do make a lot of money but only after years and years of training and debt. Trust, there are better ways. things that aren't necessarily dealbreakers are: 1. fear of anatomy- some programs do prosection (no cutting required) 2. being bored by [insert specialty here]- there are so many specialties and different avenues you can take in medicine. 3- not liking your premed courses- medicine is NOTHING like premed classes; I haven't touched physics or ochem in years lol. As long as you have an appreciation for science, are studious, and passionate about patient care, you will be fine. Get clinical experience to get a better taste of what medicine is actually like! Hope this helps anyone who may be reconsidering medicine.

I just made a big life changing decision also, left it in God's hands and a door opened. I walked through with peace and a smile. Super excited for what's to come and don't even know but I trust God and know the growth will be good. Best wishes on your journey. 🙏🏿

This is why you don’t choose medicine just for money and prestige!! This process is reallll ghetto and I advise any premed interested to really think about the sacrifices and work you have to put yourself through. You really have to LOVE medicine to do get through this process, cause it’s a ridiculously long process. (Signed your friendly neighborhood ortho resident). Proud of you for making this tough decision. Tons of students feel the same way as you do and only stick it out bc of loans and other financial restrictions and it’s really sad, cause patients deserve doctors that WANT to do what they need to do to provide the best treatment

I went to med school and finished, however over the years of studying It I've always contemplated to leave but couldn't make a solid decision and didn't know what else I would have done so I stayed. Just graduated in march of this years and home for less than a month now. Now people be on my case because I don't want to be a doctor or continúe in medicine. Every minute people have something to say like 'you spent 7 years studying med you can't leave now' ' why did you study medicine then' and these are the same people who when I told them of my conflict of leaving med school they were like ' this is an oppertunity that so many people would love to have, you should be grateful' or 'you've already been there for how many years' 'you want to waste the years you've already invested' blah blah blah. But now they asking why I decided to study medicine and stayed. It's annoying. There was only one person form the beginning who wanted me to come home and find something else to do. I should have listened to him. However i'm trusting God for the outcome of my life. Ain't tryna do anything without consulting God first and being certain ever again.

Good for you for making the best decision for you. I think there are probably way more people than we think that feel the same way you do but are too afraid to walk away. … which only leads to poor patient care in one way or another. As a black woman who excels in academics ( although you have me beat) I completely understand the feeling that you have to prove that you can do it

I went through something similar during my senior year of undergrad. I was a Music Education major and my main goal was/is to become a choral conductor (and make history while being african american because you don't see that too often lol). I only chose music education because I knew I could conduct, but I didn't want to teach in the public schools. As I got deeper into the Fall semester of my senior year, I noticed myself slipping into a depressive state because I was taking classes for a degree I didn't want. I eventually withdrew from the class that caused me stress and focused on myself for a bit. Then a wonderful opportunity came up for me at a very prestige college to study for my masters in Choral Conducting. I took that as a sign from God to continue going after the dream he planted in my heart, switched over to Music Performance (a MUCH better decision) and graduated much earlier than Education would have allowed me. Just as you, I knew music ed would bring me money, but was it bringing me happiness? Not at all haha. You know, I was often told that studying music is just as difficult as being a medical student and it is veryyyyy true. With education, I had to learn how to play every instrument known to man and idk how I did it lol. I want you to know, you are not alone and God has wonderful things in store for you. It is scary to not know what is next, but that is why we must trust God in everything we do. I look forward to seeing what is in store for you next. Keep going queen!

Thank you for sharing your story. I recently got my Law degree and just last month got accepted into University, but after leaving college I needed very desperately to take a break not only for my mental health but also because pursuing law was never something I was 100% passionate about. I am currently taking a gap year, and in this time I’ve had a couple weeks to think about what I truly want to do. I’ve had dreams for as long as I could remember to learn forensic science and become a medical examiner, after making several calls and doing my research on colleges abroad, I contemplate whether or not it’s worth it. Firstly, it’s not cheap! and I would hate to fail and feel as though I wasted my money. I don’t want to have these thoughts, I haven’t even gotten to that stage yet, but I can’t help but wonder. In the end, the alternative might be to become a mortician, but that I want to consider a last option, I have to at least try.

I appreciate your transparency & I respect your journey… I understand how you feel & what guided you to this decision…I have a professional degree & I contemplated quitting while I was in school. I ultimately decided to stay the course. I do not work in that field right now, but I’m so glad I completed the program. I’m competitive like you and I know that I would have be crushed if graduation came and my name wasn’t on the list… I didn’t want to live with that regret…it was more of a personal accomplishment for me. Your current path is something worth exploring & may not always be available to you in the future so go for it, and if you decide to revisit medical school you can…

Walk by faith!! Amen!! I wish the best for you, God will never fail those who love and seek Him!

Thank you for sharing your testimony regarding seeking GOD before making such a decision. This encouraged me to pray and wait on GOD.

Amennn, thanks for sharing this sis. I have a similar experience, but I didn’t get accepted into med school. Pre-Med for 4.5 years, took the MCAT twice; I thought being an E.R. Doctor was my calling, but I’m called to deny myself, take up my cross, and follow Yahusha (Jesus) like He tells us in Matthew 16:24. A lot of times, He uses experiences to show us what His will isn’t in order to mature us into learning & receiving what His will is. This points to why He tells us “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you (Matt. 6:33). When I put my ambition down, then I was ready to steward the responsibility of being a Holistic Nutritionist/entrepreneur with the privilege of glorifying Him, serving people by helping them eat healthfully & reverse chronic health conditions with the plants He created-without letting a career, or the “luxury” that comes with it, get the glory by shaping my idea/mindset of success. Whoever does His will and walks in His ways will always have success (Joshua 1:8). Even without a career, money, a job, or social esteem, we have eternal riches in the King of Kings, Who shed His blood for us to live, and that’s real Treasure that’ll never fade away (1 Pet. 1: 23-25, Luke 12:33). Much love & God bless ❤

I completely understand where you’re coming from… I completed my residency 2 years ago in the middle of a pandemic… and I definitely wish I had taken a different path in life. Right now; I’m focusing on paying off my loans for more financially freedom; then my goal is to only work 10 days a month… and focus the rest of the month on myself. I do agree with you… medical school course load is insane… each block/ organ system exam is equivalent to an undergrad semesters worth of information… that time of my life was the most antisocial part of my life… I literally feel like I sold my 20’s for a degree. Granted though; I am grateful for all God has blessed me with.
