You Should Know Why This Medical Student Dropped Out #343

Show Notes

Share Post:

A disillusioned third year medical student announced his official withdrawal from medical school and medicine in a post on Medium. The Ethiopian immigrant stated that he believes the current medical system is designed to harm not help people, prioritizes profits over patients and often fails to address the root cause of health issues. Drs. Nii and Renée address the student’s grievances while sharing their own perspectives and experiences.

Things to expect in this episode:

  • New year, new sickness and New York City traffic 
  • DOTB listener, Jamar, weighs in on Dave Chappelle vs Chris Rock
  • Dr. Nii makes a hefty estimated tax payment and is not happy about it
  • The potential of medicine versus the reality of medicine
  • Practicing within the traditional medical system in order to change things
