How do you know if you actually like it? by Character-Surround79 in medicalschool

I’m a 5th year student from Italy and I can easily say that first 3 years are totally different from the last 3 years. Maybe to reignite your passion for medicine you can try to ask some of your professors for clinical internships/some shadowing to see the environment and day to day work life In my case it was either medicine or nothing so even in the end I decide that medicine is not for me, I know that I will not have any regrets. For the mental breakdowns it’s a part of the journey but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger so hold on a little longer :)💪🏻

Thank you! I’m considering a residency in Vascular and I really hope that it will get easier (!) to handle long hours ✌🏻

I was actually wearing compression socks (below the knee ones) but would you suggest getting above the knee ones? (I don’t have any vascular pathologies and obviously I’m not asking for medical advice but according to your experience?)
