My friend is a doctor. She did a nursing degree prior to studying as a doctor because her high school grades weren't so great. Meeting her casually you'd never think for a second she was smart enough to be a doctor and yet she ultimately graduated top of her class. She really isn't very academic but she had a passion for medicine and that makes all the difference. Can't have a family? My friend was already a mother when she began her medical degree and has gone on to have three more children. You never hear of career counsellors tell male prospective med students that they won't be able to have a family do you? What archaic nonsense.
