I'm just wondering, do you still have time to enjoy bass playing around your medical practice, and how much free time and social time do you have??
Also, how hard is medical school?? I get A's and B's, I'm in honors and AP classes.
Just curious. |

Also, just as an fyi, advice you get in TB OT is worth exactly what you paid for.

But seriously, don't worry about music if you want to be a doctor. Worry more about getting into a good school and worry most about how you are going to pay for it. If you are going to go into primary care, you will make crap money compared to most specialties and may have trouble with heavy debt at first.
Not saying not to do it but saying that you have to plan carefully. You may be able to find time to blow off a little steam with music but medical studies will own you and your pre-med grades need to be stellar if you want to go to med school in the USA.
Just what I know from watching others and deciding I was not cut out for it.
Peace,
S

He was always really busy and didn`t have a lot of time to really commit to the band we were in together. Great player and a really nice guy, but I don`t envy him or his hectic schedule. |

The thing that'd put me off medicine is the red-tape and the general "you should have been able to fix me, I'm going to sue you" attitude as opposed to the "well, you did your best, thanks!" from most patients.
