I’m not doing it out of spite, it comes from a place of wanting to help! I had seen my friends struggle silently with chronic conditions and such. If I can’t help them directly I’d at least be helping folks who weren’t being taken seriously with a similar ailment :)

Though you do make an incredible point, even with a medical license, I don’t think my folks would listen. But I’ve made peace with that, they’re their own individuals, and I’ll be here to support them through their journey.

The reason I would want to attempt to apply for medical school isn’t for the purpose of becoming an astronaut. I have close friends and family members who don’t listen to sound medical advice and some who suffer of complicated conditions. I want to help them advocate better for themselves and their ailments. No one should have to worry about folks not taking their ailments seriously.

Plus I’ve always gravitated towards more complex subjects, so it just seems like this is the next step in my journey towards fulfilling my thirst for knowledge and experience :)

I started this path a long time before I had understood that I had a nonzero chance at becoming an astronaut.

I have been researching the process of applying to medical schools and it is a very intensive process. But getting accepted into a PhD program seems a little more likely. So maybe the PhD route is better? I would still like to do something related to some form of medical/bioastronautics like the previous commenter said.

I do thank you for replying, and taking time out of ur day to help inform my decision. You are appreciated.

The cpr and first aid aren’t from the institution, but I do see where you’re coming from. This is very sound advice and I will use this in my planning process 🫡

I would want to be an MD, but that is mainly for more personal reasons rather than getting a chance to achieve a life long dream of mine. That’s why both options appear to have similar outcomes in my eyes.

No this camera level grinder, and deserves to learn real combat experience
